For this week’s Big Story in the Quad-City Times, sports reporter and columnist Don Doxsie explores the growing popularity of competitive video-gaming in the Quad Cities. He reports that newly formed "e-sports" programs at St. Ambrose University and Orion High School are part of a broader national trend among athletic departments across the country, as hundreds of schools have added teams—including more than 70 colleges and universities which offer scholarships to "e-athletes."
You can read Doxsie's story in the Sunday edition of the Times, or on the newspaper's website.
