When we set out to build esports and gaming energies at OU we knew from day one that desire and demand wasn't going to be the issue. It was going to be administrative buy-in and cultural mindset elevation. Seven years of development and execution have brought us to this elevated state. We strategized our milestones, created intentional programs, and coupled it with the student voice and campus culture to build something that is 100% OU from top to bottom. Our roadmap is still only about 40% executed in 2024 and we have much more to showcase, innovate, and explore! - Moog

Esports and gaming as topics and the cultures around that have some crossover but very different intentions and delivery styles.
