COLLEGE COD
I’m back! Your On Campus managing editor (me, Kevin Kelly) returns to the desk this week to talk with Jacob about a nice little hidden gem we recently discovered in the collegiate esports world, in the College CoD league.

For our full analysis of what we like about this league, what they’re doing that other college esports organizers should be emulating, and a short summary of the top ranked teams after three weeks of play, you can find all of that and more on Checkpoint XP On Campus.
