More Universities to Offer Chess Scholarships

In one of the most ridiculous college admissions policies yet, more universities are deciding to hand out chess scholarships in hopes of attracting students the colleges would not normally attract.

Is it not bad enough that colleges already give out scholarships for sports in general, but now to include chess among one of the reasons why someone may get in over someone else (with maybe a better academic record) is astounding to say the least.
