The hottest sport in college today is…Quidditch?

by Keith Hawk · September 29, 2011

An article from USA Today asks the question, “Is the hottest sport in college today…Quidditch?”

Quidditch teams have been forming in hundreds of schools in almost every state and more than a dozen countries, in fact the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) recognizes the sport. Rivalries have begun to form, and on November 12th and 13th, the International Quidditch Association (IQA) will be holding the fifth Quidditch World Cup on Randall’s Island, New York.

Editor’s Note: Are you going to the Quidditch World Cup? We have been given 10 reasons written by Alex Benepe, the IQA Commissioner, that shows you why you should be attending right here.

The article from USA Today finishes with the question: What do you think? Are students playing Quidditch at your college or university? Will matches be shown one day on ESPN or held in gigantic stadiums?

We ask you for your answer to those questions in the comments below?

Recurs yearly

2004

It’s high time I paid homage to the mighty MuggleNet. Where to start? I love the design, (I currently favour the ‘Dementor’ layout), the polls (I actually voted in the ‘Who’s the Half-Blood Prince?’ one), the pretty-much-exhaustive information on all books and films, the wonderful editorials (more insight there than in several companion volumes I shall not name), 101 Ways to Annoy Lord Voldemort (made me laugh aloud), the Wall of Shame (nearly as funny as some of the stuff I get)… pretty much everything. Webmaster Emerson, Eric, Jamie, Damon, Ben, Matthew, Rachel, Jaymz and Sharon, I salute you.
