LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) - February 5, 2007 -- So, your mom says playing those video games won't get you anywhere.
Well, that twitchy trigger finger could earn a college scholarship. Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, plans to offer an online gaming competition.
School officials say they're still working out the details for what they're calling Cyberfest. The championship round is slated for July, with the ultimate winner getting a full four-year scholarship to the school. That's worth $80,000.
Liberty U officials say the online gaming will not involve any graphic sex or violence.
