They created programs that could challenge other institutions for national prestige in an arena that was far less crowded than traditional intercollegiate athletics. Larger universities soon caught on, and before long, competitive esports teams were popping up across the country.

The new requirement, which updates an existing policy that allowed a 12-month embargo for making research freely available, will take effect by the end of 2025. At the time, many open-access advocates celebrated the decision, but some scholars wondered who would fund the policy, given the high cost to researchers who publish open access.
