City paperwork hints at changes for the ballet as FC Cincinnati stadium rises Randy Tucker and Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An earlier version of this story misstated the neighborhood in which the new ballet facility would be built.

The Cincinnati Ballet plans to build a new dance center in Walnut Hills.

The ballet in September submitted a request to the City of Cincinnati to rezone just under an acre of undeveloped land at 1801 Gilbert Ave. for a "Cincinnati Ballet Center for Dance, which includes area for physical therapy practice,'' according to documents obtained by The Enquirer.

The zoning request does not indicate whether the ballet is expanding or plans to move from its current location at 1555 Central Parkway in West End. See BALLET, Page 2A

West Side brewery continues to thrive Laura A. Hobson Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The West Side is enjoying its entry to the craft brewery scene.

“I had always wanted to do a brewery,” said Joe Mumper, a graduate of Miami University with an engineering management degree. His brother Jeff gave him a home brewing kit at age 22.

He was hooked. Now, working 80 hours a week, he has achieved his goal.

Joe Mumper and three friends, Kurtis Remmel, his father Jim Remmel and cousin Brian Willett were standing around a fi re pit drinking craft beer.

They asked the question, “Why isn’t there a craft brewery on the West Side?”

Joe, Kurtis and Jim were home brewers.

Mumper and now his three business partners reached out to other brewers in town who lent their expertise about opening a brewery.

How to submit news

They launched the idea in November 2014. Between the time the idea was hatched and the brewery opened in 2017, there was a lot of work in between.

The men created a business plan in October 2015 and looked for potential investors in 2016. Huntington Bank, Delhi

FC Cincinnati reveals four club seating areas Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

high ceilings, a retail friendly location and aff ordable cost. He also picked a neighborhood on the edge – Westwood.

The partners chose the former Wullenweber Motors building, later KS Design Sign Shop, built in the 1920’s on Harrison Ave. close to the Montana intersection. They leased the building from a family friend in June 2016 with an option to buy.

Duke Energy gave West Side Brewing a grant of $45,000 for planning and architecture in November, 2016.

There was much work to do. They updated all the mechanicals, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, opened the walls, added new restrooms and installed brewing equipment.

Within the fi rst year, the brewery was profi table. But the profi ts were often reinvested in capital expenditures

FC Cincinnati revealed the four club spaces for the stadium, including the rumored beer hall that’s a nod to the city’s brewing history.

The photos were shared with the public as part of a team survey to fans aimed at setting club pricing.

They show the West End Stadium will have the most club seating of any soccer-specifi c stadium in the MLS, with various levels of luxury.

“In the largest soccer-specifi c stadium in the country we will have double the average number of suites and more than double the number of club seats,” said Jeff Smith, FC Cincinnati’s vice president of ticketing sales and service. “But we will also balance it out with traditional reserved seating at affordable pricing.”

FC Cincinnati is building a 26,500seat, privately funded, $250 million stadium in the West End, with roughly $35 million in taxpayer help for infra-

for the brewery increasing capacity and improving the facility. He has 20 employees in a 13,000-square-feet building. The brewery distributes beer in Ohio and Kentucky in kegs and cans.

About 150 retail establishments in Cincinnati carry the beer. Mumper plans to expand in Indiana soon.

In March 2017, brewery equipment from Premier Stainless, Escondido, California was installed. Brewing offi cially began in June 2017. It is a 15-barrel brew house with 15 to 20 beers on tap. In any given year, over 60 diff erent beers are produced.

West Side Brewery also has a twobarrel pilot system. The number one seller is common ale (golden).

Mumper says the brewery names its beers to match the style. “We keep to traditional beers and do them well.”

A source briefed on the deal, however, said this would become the ballet's permanent headquarters and practice facility.

For St. Patrick’s Day, Colin Foy, head brewer, makes German Irish Lager (GIL). It combines the grain of Irish Red Ale with German Lager Yeast and German hops. The brewery’s barleywine beer, described as "a sturdy barleywine fermented ale with suggestions of brown sugar and dried fi gs and light fl oral hop notes, was named one of the top 40 beers in the US by USA Today in June 2019.

Mumper said it would release barleywine every year.

In the future, he will use mobile canning and buy his own canning line. He also plans to add a roof deck. the tap room is large and overlooks Harrison Ave. There is a private party room where the brewery hosts special events. West Side Brewing Running Club meets twice a week, for example. Food trucks outside the brewery augment the establishment’s small in-house menu.

“Dealing with the rapid growth of the brewery is the biggest challenge.” said Mumper.

A spokeswoman for the ballet declined comment.

In October of last year, Cincinnati Ballet President and CEO Scott Altman told The Enquirer the ballet has been planning for years to expand, but that has always meant staying in West End and adding another building somewhere else. The West End location is important because it is close to Music Hall, where the ballet performs.

The issue is set to come before the Cincinnati Planning Commission Nov. 1, with a detailed report from city planners about the project expected later this week.

The building in question is where ballet practice and classes take place.

The ballet will continue to perform at Music Hall.

The ballet's zoning request comes as the ballet continues to negotiate with FC Cincinnati, which bought the building

LAURA A. HOBSON / FOR THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER

the ballet currently leases.

The team, with city approval, is building a Major League Soccer stadium essentially across the street from the ballet. It immediately raised questions about noise and parking for the ballet.

FC Cincinnati has said it intends to build a mixed-use development near the stadium and has been quietly assembling property around the stadium.

The ballet building sits in the midst of that land.

Since 1995, the ballet has leased the land at Central Parkway and Liberty Street from Tri-State Wholesale and that lease permits it to rent the building and the parking lot for seven more years, with an option to renew for an additional 10 years.

But Tri-State Wholesale sold the building to FC Cincinnati for a reported $25 million, a price that seems high for West End land, but included the fact

that there was a long-term revenue stream from the ballet lease.

Discussions about the ballet moving last fall that became so heated Berding accused the ballet of trying to "shakedown" the team for money it would use to move, which Cincinnati Ballet President and CEO Scott Altman denied.

In February, the Ballet asked Cincinnati City Council to halt FC Cincinnati stadium plans until a resolution can be worked out between the ballet and the team over where people going to ballet practice can park. Some city council members did try to help broker a deal between the ballet and team, which cooled the public fi ghting. But there is no deal at the moment.

Berding could not be reached for comment. Current stadium plans show the ballet and the parking lot it uses remaining where they are.

Q: Dr. Godbey, does untreated hearing loss have anything to do with depression?

A: Yes, it does. Recent studies have shown that untreated hearing loss has serious and emotional and social consequences for older persons. The National Council on Aging found that those with untreated hearing loss were more likely to report depression, anxiety and paranoia and were less likely to participate in organized social activities, compared to those who wear hearing aids. Hearing aid users reported significant improvements in many areas of their lives, ranging from relationships at home and a sense of independence in their social life. Advances in technology have dramatically improved hearing aids in recent years. We now have smaller options, rechargeable options, and even hearing aids that connect to cell phones via Bluetooth.

Green Twp. SWAT suspect once maced 400 people at a school Cameron Knight and Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The man at the center of a SWAT situation Thursday, Oct. 17 has been jailed before. In 1998, he set off a canister of mace in the Oak Hills High School auditorium forcing the evacuation of about 400 people.

Christopher Mushrush, 39, is now charged with attempted aggravated arson after police said he doused his parent's Green Township home in gasoline threatening to kill himself and burn down the residence.

A multi-hour SWAT situation ended after police realized Mushrush was no longer in the house he threatened to destroy. The offi cers packed things up after Mushrush was apprehended about three miles from the home. He apparently left the house before police arrived.

More than two decades ago when the mace attack occurred, Mushrush was 18.

It was a Thursday night in April. The school year was winding down and about 400 people had gathered to watch the "Best of Oak Hills," a variety and talent show.

When the mace canister was opened, the crowd of mainly students started gasping for breath and suff ering eye irritation, according to reports from the time. People rushed for the exits.

Then-Principal Jim Williamson spotted Mushrush and grabbed him, but Mushrush pushed by, injuring the educator and making his way outside.

Two teachers and several students

gave chase. Mushrush led his pursuers around the athletic fi elds. It was the students that eventually grabbed him, Williamson said at the time.

Authorities said he was in a "drugaddled state," bit one of the people who tried to stop him and later spit in the face of a doctor who was trying to treat him.

He would later plead guilty to felonious assault and inducing panic. He was sentenced to 10 and half years in prison.

Mushrush would unsuccessfully attempt to appeal his conviction, but after spending less than two years in prison, he was resentenced and released on probation.

However, he would continue to have run-ins with the law.

In February 2003, a warrant was issued for Mushrush's arrest after he violated the terms of his probation by testing positive for opiates, according to court documents.

Court records state that Mushrush was convicted of four drug-related crimes between the years of 2004 and 2015.

CAMERON KNIGHT/THE ENQUIRER

In 2016, Mushrush pleaded guilty to charges of receiving stolen property and forgery after selling a stolen 2005 Dodge

Caravan to a tow company and attempting to cash fraudulent checks.

He was sentenced to 33 months in prison.

This May, he pleaded guilty to possessing drug abuse instruments after he overdosed on heroin, court documents state.

Earlier this month, Mushrush was arrested again after police said he possessed two syringes.

Police said Mushrush could have additional charges in connection with the SWAT incident on Thursday, but as of Friday, he is only facing a single misdemeanor.

If convicted of attempted aggravated arson, he could face up to 180 days in jail.

He is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center awaiting trial. A Hamilton County grand jury was expected to report on his case by Oct. 28.

Microwave nut brittle 1000 watts and up Mine was cooked in a 1250 watt microwave. This recipe is for microwaves 1000 to 1250 watts.

Ingredients ⁄ 2 cup light corn syrup

1

1 cup sugar 1 to -1⁄ 2 cups salted nuts 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla ⁄ 8 teaspoon cayenne powder (opt)

1

1 teaspoon baking soda Instructions Line baking sheet with foil and spray.

Stovetop Brittle (left) and Microwave Brittle (right). RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

A bit of a brittle battle for the holidays Spicy (or not) Stovetop Nut Brittle

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

All I had on hand were peanuts. Any nut works.

After my presentation at a t women’s conference, a participant asked if I could help with a nut brittle recipe. “I had a slightly spicy pine nut brittle in New Mexico and would like to make it but with regular nuts,” she said.

Now I’ve made brittles on top of the stove and in the microwave, and since the lady didn’t specify, I’m sharing both. All I had to do on the stovetop version is add cayenne to a classic recipe. It cooked up darker than the microwave version. If you use the microwave, note that the timing may be a bit diff erent from what’s specifi ed depending upon wattage. That’s why I’m giving you detailed instructions.

Brittles keep up to a month, covered at room temperature.

If you have a candy thermometer, clip it onto the pan before cooking.

Ingredients

In a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stir butter, sugar, salt and corn syrup until smooth and bubbly all over. Cover and cook 1 minute.

This starts the brittle process.

1 to11⁄ 2cups salted nuts

Stir in vanilla, cayenne and nuts. Raise heat to medium high and, stirring constantly, cook until syrup is dark golden, like the color of caramels. This takes about 5 minutes and is called hard crack stage, 300 degrees. Check by dropping a bit in of ice water. If it’s at hard crack, the syrup will immediately become a brittle thread. (See photo on my site.) If it doesn’t, cook a bit longer. During the last couple of minutes it gets dark fairly quick.

Instructions

Pour onto sheet, spread thin.

Line baking sheet with foil and spray.

Let harden, break into pieces.

⁄ 4 cup butter

1

⁄ 2 cup sugar

1

⁄ 8 teaspoon salt

1

2 tablespoons dark corn syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla ⁄ 8 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder (opt - leave out for classic nut brittle)

Viewpoints Everyone loses if school emergency levies fail tricts in our area. The taxes that it receives from the community are among the lowest in Hamilton County, and its cost per pupil is second lowest. The district has been in cost-cutting mode for many years, which has already aff ected its competitiveness.

This is an emergency levy to cover an operating defi cit when reserves have been tapped. There’s nothing frivolous about it. Other districts regularly pass new operating and improvement levies.

This school district is just trying to maintain its current off erings.

Despite the district’s frugality, it has made the most of its resources. It serves over 9,000 students with diverse backgrounds and needs, ranging from college prep and vocational to those who need special help developing the skills to succeed in the classroom and in life. It off ers top-notch extracurricular programs and a well-rounded educational experience.

If the levy fails, the cuts will be very damaging to the schools and students.

Some say these are just threats and there is plenty of “fat” in the budget.

That’s simply not true. The magnitude and timing of the current defi cit is not a surprise given Ohio’s funding model.

The levy has been deferred as long as possible. Other districts are in the same boat, and they’re going back to voters on a more frequent basis than Northwest Local School District.

Your Turn Tim Gehner Guest Columnist USA TODAY NETWORK

No one likes tax increases, and no entity enjoys the prospect of putting a new levy on the ballot. But for suburban school districts in Ohio, ongoing levies are a fact of life. Northwest Local School District is no diff erent, and a critical emergency levy is on the ballot Nov 5.

Before making a judgment on this levy, I ask you to consider the facts.

Northwest Local School District has not received new money from the community (only renewals) since 2012.

Ohio’s funding model assumes that local communities cover over 60% of operating costs for suburban schools (rural and urban districts get more funding). This has been ruled unconstitutional four times, but nothing has changed. The state assumes new money levies occur every four to fi ve years, while we’ve gone seven years, which is beyond the norm.

Meanwhile, the state of Ohio has signifi cantly cut funding and imposed new unfunded mandates.

Northwest Local School District is a no-frills district. Its administrative costs, salary structure and condition of overall facilities are at the lower end of the spectrum compared to other dis-

Everyone loses when schools can’t pass emergency operating levies. It’s not just the students. The community’s reputation takes a hit, and it encourages families to move out and discourages people from moving in.

That’s the opposite of what drives a thriving community.

Property values, broadly, will inevitably be aff ected. That leads to a lower tax base, which raises the cost of services for those who don’t move out. It makes our community less attractive for investment and development. It accelerates a downward spiral that is diffi cult to recover from. There is an eventual fi -

Ultimately, it becomes a question of where our community is headed. Its fate and the school district are inextricably intertwined. Are we moving forward or backward? Communities that are doing well understand the foundational importance of public schools. Funding NWLSD at a reasonable level – nothing excessive – is an important investment in our community’s future.

VIEWPOINTS

Re-elect an experienced leader for Green Twp. trustee Tony Rosiello Chairman, Green Township Board of Trustees Guest Columnist

I was fi rst elected as a Green Township trustee in 2011. At that time, the trustees had to deal with a dramatic decrease in funding from the state as a result of the loss of the estate tax and a reduction in the local government fund. I am proud to say that I was very successful in meeting that challenge. We are now on solid fi nancial ground.

Safety is my top priority. I’m humbled to have received endorsements from the Green Township Police Offi cers Association as well as the Green Township Professional Firefi ghters. Their faith in me is important. Our First Responders are well trained and equipped.

Hiring more offi cers is in our immediate plans.

Our Public Services department is second to none. They take care of over 500 township

roads, maintain our beautiful parks and our terrifi c Senior Center and Lodge. You’ll soon see additional improvements at our gateways at North Bend Road and Rybolt/Harrison as well as improvements to Kuliga Park. Beautifi cation projects are very important to attract new business as well as retain residents. It is important that you know we are using Tax Increment Financing (TIF) dollars, NOT dollars from the general budget.

We’ve seen a tremendous increase in young families moving into Green Township over the last four years. I continue to meet with developers and investors interested in providing new housing, offi ce, restaurant and shopping opportunities. We are working every day to achieve the balance and bring new development you requested.

I’m happy to report we are now a “We THRIVE Community”. The goal is improving the health, safety and vitality of our neighborhood. My focus is to build additional side-

walks and expand the walking trail. In addition to the health benefi ts, these provide connections to parks, schools, libraries and shopping. I’m working hard at reducing litter and increasing recycling. I’m asking for your help with both initiatives. I’ve instituted new Solar Flashing Light crosswalks at West Fork Park and 3 of our schools. Drivers today are just too distracted. My focus fi rst and foremost is keeping everyone safe.

Green Township remains a terrifi c place to live, work, raise a family and retire! The improvements noted above are the result of careful planning and implementation by me and our team. This did not happen on its own and is not “reactive” as my opponent suggested.

I’m committed to this process. My strategy is to deliver managed, economic growth with connectivity and convenience that promotes healthy life styles.

It would be my honor to continue to serve you as trustee. I ask for your vote on Nov. 5.

The future of Delhi Township is on the line Rose Stertz Trustee Delhi Township Guest Columnist

I am Rose Stertz and have been a Delhi Township Trustee for the past four years. During those years many exciting things have happened in the Township. ❚ Our 40-year old zoning ordinances were updated to help promote redevelopment. ❚ Thirty-nine new businesses found homes in Delhi. ❚ $50.5 million of investment money has been infused into Delhi. ❚ A new fi re house was built on Greenwell replacing the 50-year old building that services the east side of Delhi which equates to over 50% of all our emergency runs. ❚ Our Police Department has a full staff of 31

(included Park, Drug and School Resource offi cers). All offi cers now wear body cams. ❚ Delhi was named “1 of 8 Upcoming Neighborhoods to Live” by Cincinnati Magazine. ❚ Drees Homes has developed a new 31home neighborhood on Ebenezer. ❚ Delhi has been awarded ‘We THRIVE” by Hamilton County Public Health.

“Plan the Pike” was developed four years ago jointly with residents and Township offi cials. We began setting TIF funds aside to purchase property should it become available.

Luckily for Delhi the old Remke site came on the market in March. That same site was for sale two years ago for $6M; we purchased it for a reasonable price of $2.95M. My opponent says ‘we have no plan’, but I beg to diff er; we have “Plan the Pike”. A lot of preparations have been going on to prepare for the next phase, including a housing study that

verifi ed we are lacking housing for millennials and empty nesters. We have been visiting other municipalities and studying what they are doing. We have been talking with developers who are very interested in our project. We are bringing the “Plan” to life. This development will help generate resource incomes from TIF’s and JEDD’s that will NOT come from our residents’ pockets.

Our level of taxes has generated a lot of discussion. We, as trustees, cannot reduce current taxes and we haven’t imposed taxes on our residents; they are voted on by you. Our tax mix is as follows: 42% Oak Hills Schools; 32% Delhi Township and 26% various Hamilton County levies. Voters decide what level of services they are willing to support.

I ask for your vote on Nov. 5. Let’s revitalize Delhi together. “No more who we once were, but who we should be.”

Sports A METEORIC RISE:

Inside the growth of college esports Luke Feliciano Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Headphones encase Jack Barford’s ears and a microphone is at the ready.

They are part of the video-crafting ensemble he wields to broadcast himself to his 300,000 subscribers and the world.

The 22-year-old Xavier University student and Cincinnati La Salle High School graduate started a YouTube channel fi ve years ago under the name BfordLancer48. He has achieved success in making videos about FIFA, the EA Sports soccer video game.

He is not yet a household name but soon could be.

His achievements exemplify the ever-growing presence and popularity of online sports. Gaming, like what Barford does, is just a part of that.

So is varsity esports. That’s because online sports are now going where most of its followers are: To college.

Varsity esports, or gaming done in teams, is sponsored by the universities and played in their name.

Nationwide, there are almost 400 such programs at America’s colleges and universities. Ohio schools are among those leading the charge. Only California, Texas, New York and Pennsylvania have more such programs, according to a list provided by the National Collegiate Scouting Association.

So what is esports, really?

It’s amped-up gaming. That is, everyday gamers can play anything from reallife virtual sports games (you can play as LeBron in video game form!) to fantasy games specifi cally created for a video game audience in competition form.

For example, here’s what a general gamer experience would look like: You sign on, enter the game, and play with a group of people that you might know or who are random. Some casual gamers stream their gaming experiences, but it’s mostly just for their own pleasure.

Here’s what a college esports experience would look like: You play against others, per a pre-determined collegeagainst-college schedule. Fans can watch the action if you’re live-streaming on a service such as Twitch. The teams don’t even have to be in the same location because of online play.

Games categorized as massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games and battle royale games are the most prevalent selections in the college esports scene.

The potential for growth, for participation and for fun is huge, say the players and those who tune in.

But, fi rst things fi rst, is esports really a sport?

Chris Postell, a University of Cincinnati alum and founder of the fi rst college esports club, says yes.

It’s competitive. It has a community.

It takes skill. It’s watchable and most have developer support.

The future looks bright, experts say, because of who is playing, who is watching and how much money the sport will earn – especially through sponsorship – to support the industry in the long term. The skill-building and community-driven foundation that esports is built upon almost ensures the continued growth of the sport.

The statistical fi gures provided by game developers such as Riot Games have helped place the ascent of college esports into perspective.

Xavier University is part of this, fi elding a budding esports program through recreation sports and sending a team to compete in Rocket League for the last two years at Big East events.

“Right now, the Big East is trying to determine what they want to do moving forward in esports,” Glenn Arnold, assistant director for recreation sports at Xavier, said. “The Big East and the schools within it are all looking at esports very seriously.”

The biggest underlying question, according to Arnold, is and will be, how far colleges want to go with esports.

Esports on campus

Mount St. Joseph's esports arena on campus has some of the latest gaming equipment and is stocked with PCs for competitive gaming. LUKE FELICIANO

tor of Collegiate Esports for Riot Games, reported to Sport Techie that 62% of the college students rostered on the developer’s League of Legends team are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) students.

“What that means is they (STEM students) are going to have a higher estimated income after graduation, they are going to be America’s future middle class, and that has the generated return of donations back to the university as alumni,” Postell said.

“Realistically, these are going to be the students capable of donating to the university in a massive way.”

Universities see that as a huge winwin.

Step one If you’re going to have a college sport, you’re going to need some rules. The fi eld here has already got that covered.

TESPA is one of the largest governing bodies to oversee college esports competitions. TESPA, which started as the Texas Esports Association, now includes more than 270 programs across the country with more than 102,000 members and alumni.

The National Association of Colle-

Mount St. Joseph's esports team is complete with its own jerseys seen here that resembles a soccer jersey.

LUKE FELICIANO

giate esports (NACE) is a nonprofi t organization that has produced $15 million in scholarship and aid for esports athletes and now which includes 130 schools and roughly 3,000 competitors.

One major conference, the Big East, appears to be at the implementation stage having formed a pilot program for an esports league. Currently, the conference isn’t off ering scholarships to college e-athletes, but the league includes seven out of the 10 institutions for select games.

The earliest esports were likely those launched at Stanford University in 1972 and competitive championships developed circa 1980.

However, a lot of the attention to college esports had to wait for the technology to catch up – mainly for cross-console and online play.

UC’s Postell became a pioneer in the collegiate esports scene in 2012 through his own initiative, creating a blueprint for other universities to follow. As an undergraduate student, he was the catalyst behind the founding of the fi rst esports program as a sanctioned club sport in the country.

The club’s establishment coincided with an event consisting of presentations, panels and competition. In attendance was one of the most successful professional players, xPeke, from the Fnatic League of Legends team.

Postell’s grassroots campaign resulted in a side group that experienced a rapid numbers spike – starting with just 15 members and increasing to around 700 members in the span of four years.

The infl ux of new members signing up for the club proved benefi cial for both the club and the university. In the end, it’s really a numbers game.

“The university wants more numbers to sign on for their enrollment program,” Postell said. “The social side wants more numbers so that the club can be bigger, and if you have more people in See ESPORTS, Page 2B

the club, then naturally you have a higher chance of fi nding those high-tier players, who you can then take and move into your competitive program.”

UC’s esports team is solely operated by club management and is not part of its athletic department. The distinction as a club team still allows players to be recognized as student-athletes and grants the club rights to use trademarked university logos.

A business proposal from Cincinnati Christian University (CCU) esports head coach Jared Fayne was all the convincing the administration needed to kickstart the esports program at that school.

University offi cials were brainstorming ways to boost enrollment and they decided to use athletics to attract students to the school.

The Mount St. Joseph University’s (MSJ) esports team fi rst plugged into the gaming environment with a chic setup in the basement of the admissions offi ce. Now, the program is surfacing as a competitive sport housed in the athletic department.

The nascent college esports teams – who just began inaugural seasons during the 2019-20 academic year – already have high expectations.

Recruitment efforts afoot At smaller colleges – like MSJ and CCU – student-athletes make up a large portion of the student population.

That’s why recruiting is an essential arm of athletics with the end goal focused on locating talent to fuel the program.

For MSJ esports head coach Tim David, who serves as an admissions offi cer at the college as well, recruiting students to the school and to the esports program is a simultaneous undertaking.

CCU’s Fayne has an alternative ap-

proach to recruiting. He scouts talent by watching live streams of players he is targeting.

What exactly do esports recruiters look for in athletes? Turns out, the vital skills are akin to that of a typical athlete.

“I look for how they (players) respond to adversity. I look at leadership skills,” Fayne said.

“The number one thing is actually being able to be coached because every person who plays games think they are really good – and they’re not,” David said.

There are plenty of incentives that come with playing college esports competitively. MSJ off ers students $2,000 scholarships to play on the team. During the fi rst year of the club, the program had the ability to grant up to 10 scholarships and David doesn’t expect that number to dwindle anytime soon.

CCU’s esports scholarship award money hovers near the national average, according to Fayne.

Phil Kaplan’s background in technology and real estate has made him keenly aware of the transformation the gaming industry has undergone over the last decade.

He is the chief operating offi cer in charge of GameWorks, a national entertainment company for arcade and video games.

Kaplan contends that esports has challenged traditional sports in an unprecedented way and noted that the main audience demographic is made up of Generation Z and millennials.

“It’s not just one game, it’s a lot of different games,” he said. “Streaming has disrupted traditional broadcast media, especially in esports. Streaming is core to the way we reach that audience of athletes and enabling streaming and media experiences to our guests at our stores, is, I think, very important.”

Kaplan tried to explain the rise of college esports by talking about something a lot of people know: America’s pastime.

“Imagine starting Major League Baseball from scratch,” he said. “You started with pro teams and now you have to build the amateur structure too.

This is basically a sport being started al-

Beyond the campus College campuses aren’t the only places where esports is growing.

most from scratch in tech time if you will.”

For now, high school clubs, Fayne says, present themselves as the pipeline esports needs in order to be viable as a college enterprise. Esports clubs work eff ectively to break down the stigma of video games being an individual, reclusive activity.

So when will the NCAA get involved?

That’s anybody’s guess.

Since college esports do not yet fall under NCAA jurisdiction, athletes and clubs can accept thprize money from winning tournaments while in college without relinquishing amateur status.

“The NCAA has actually invested a lot of money and time into researching esports, and on paper upfront, their result was inconclusive on whether they wanted to do this or not,” Postell commented. “The reason for this is every NCAA decision has to have buy-in and approval from all the universities participating in it.”

That means each NCAA institution would be required to unanimously vote for esports to become an offi cial sport.

In tech time, though, that could be pretty quick.

Erik Agard, 26, is a professional crossword constructor and editor, now working for Andrews McMeel Universal syndicate in Kansas City, Mo. His last Sunday puzzle was ‘‘Stoner’s Film Festival’’ in June. He says the idea for this one came from rewatching ‘‘Black Panther’’ recently (referenced at 87-Across). This is Erik’s 17th crossword for The Times this year, and altogether his sixth one with a movie theme. — W.S.
