At any given point in time, there are about 3 million people playing the video game Fortnite on Xbox, Playstation, or PC, making it the most played game in the world. In Fortnite Battle Royale, 100 players are dropped onto an island littered with guns with nothing but a pickaxe and the ability to build forts out of harvested materials—the last player left alive is the winner. The game has become massively popular on Snapchat and Twitter, but that popularity has just found a new avenue: American collegiate institutions.

Ohio's Ashland University will now offer a Fortnite based scholarship through their e-sports team (which plays Overwatch, Rocket League, and Fortnite).

The Ashland e-sports team is truly honored to be what will surely be the first of MANY colleges offering Fortnite scholarships.

Young twitter users were, needless to say, pretty interested in enrolling at Ashland.

It looks like Ashland is taking the whole e-sports wave very seriously.

And, among gamers at least, it's one of the classiest things Ashland can do.

But the real question we all should be asking?

Mace introduced the resolution shortly after Delaware elected Democrat McBride as the first openly transgender member of Congress.

CNN Uses Hillary Clinton Stat To Put Trump's Dwindling Popular Vote Margin On Blast

CNN's John Berman and Harry Enten pointed out President-elect Donald Trump's shrinking popular vote gap over Vice President Kamala Harris—and shared a statistic about his former opponent Hillary Clinton's popular vote margin that Trump isn't going to like one bit.

News Central anchor Berman and Enten, the network's senior political data reporter, noted that Trump currently holds 49.9% of the counted votes, edging out Harris, who has 48.2%. However, not only does this mean Donald Trump did not win 50% of the vote, but this 1.7% margin is narrower than the 2.1% popular vote lead Clinton had over Trump in the 2016 election.

Trans Activist Has Blunt Reminder For Nancy Mace About Trans Women During Trump's First Term

Transgender activist Charlotte Clymer posted a truth bomb about where transgender women in the Capitol went to the bathroom during the first Trump administration after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace announced she would seek to ban transgender women from the women's bathroom.

Mace introduced a resolution to bar members of Congress, as well as congressional officers and employees, from using single-sex facilities that do not align with their biological sex. The proposal was clearly designed to target Sarah McBride, who recently secured Delaware's lone seat in the House and will become the first openly transgender member of Congress.
