Things got moving quickly. Could offer 50% tuition and full room and board. Got space on campus at the same time. It came down to president's willingness to see beyond this was just a video gsme.
Wrote a support ticket to Riot, met with many questions. Do you want swag? Are you a student? Let's call you back. Then, they said they liked it. Then a big splash, people all over the globe got involved. Robert Morris just 1200 students then. Big news for them especially.
