The New Big People on Campus

I saw an interesting news segment today on E Athletes. Apparently there is a new culture of on-line role playing gamers; I know, that's nothing new, but an accredited United State's college awarding 30 of these individuals full athletic scholarships certainly is. A Georgia University with a booming athletic program has recruited the top 30 US e athletes in the country to play RPGs, which makes me wonder if I should've let my boys play more video games instead of taking them to the park.
All kidding aside, this did get me thinking about the applications of having 30 top gamers who can type 100's of words a minute (even if their an alien language) and think like a unit at lightning speeds. Future operators of unmanned military hardware, intelligence and recon through both hardwired and mobile devices, or a future untapped highly profitable niche?
Make every day count,
