OU's Moog name dropped some clubs and people on Twitter so I tracked some of them down and got another great episode that further explores how much collegiate esports has grown in just a year. UTD status, resources and approval on campus is reminiscent of many other programs'. Greg Adler, Director and Coach for UTD's program fills me in and helps paint the picture of an esports contender.&nbsp;

Episode 055 - Eugene Frier, Director of Esports & Gaming of Texas Wesleyan University

Your host, Joe "Rakaul" Belousek, dives head first into esports; professional and collegiate. 

Colleges are joining the esports hype train and they all have a different take. If professional esports are the Wild West, collegiate esports is unexplored frontier. I investigate the founding, the administrative involvement, student culture and the plans for growing esports on campus. 

With the occasional deviation for professional esports, esports businesses and game developer interviews, we'll cover large swathes of gaming culture. Join me as I learn, game, grow and become more involved! Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thesummoninghour/support
