It's only a matter of time until they offer credited courses in "Texas Holdem Poker: The Craze that Swept Not Only the Entire Nation, but the Entire World"

Bravo's "Celebrity Poker Showdown" and the Travel Channel's "World Poker Tour" have done a lot to bring poker to the mainstream and onto the the campuses. College students across the country are playing poker in their dorm rooms and taking part in tournaments sponsored by online poker rooms (last year Bodog sponsored an ACC tournament).
