Bing Chen, a junior at Princeton and the executive vice president of Ivy Council, echoed Glass's sentiments in a September press release. "In its year of rebuilding and expansion, Ivy Council seeks to initiate, support, and collaborate with intercollegiate programs such as 'GoCrossCampus' in order to foster creative outlets for the Ivy League," Chen said. "This is one step towards the propagation of new, innovative, intercollegiate programs created by and for Ivy League students. Ivy Council is thrilled to be a sponsor of the GoCrossCampus Ivy League Championship and looks forward to further partnerships in the future."
Brad Hargreaves, a senior at Yale and a member of the development team for "GoCrossCampus," said that the game's primary purpose is to foster school pride rather than to make money.
"Right now we are eating the cost," Hargreaves said. "Our target is a casual player, not intense gamers who would probably be the only ones who would pay to play. We are here to create a fun game, not [to] make money." Hargreaves said that "GoCrossCampus" should not be confused with a video game and classified it instead as an online sport.
