Via Big East Conference hemsida meddelas nu att de slagit sina påsar ihop med ESL inför den första Big East Esports-säsongen där Rocket League ska spelas. Craig Levine, Global Chief Strategy Officer hos ESL, kommenterar:
"ESL and the Big East are working together with the universities and students to weave esports into the fabric of campus life through competition, research and curriculum. We anticipate that Big East Esports will help lay the structural foundation for the future of player and fan ecosystems in the U.S."
Rocket League har redan arrangerats av Big East som en del i deras Esports Invitational i april, och Vince Nicastro, deputy commissioner samt chief operating officer för Big East Conference, kommenterar:
"We are very excited to partner again with ESL to build our platform in this rapidly evolving sector. We believe that competitive esports in the collegiate setting have considerable growth potential, and our inaugural competition will allow us to connect with a growing number of students that are actively engaged in esports on our campuses."
