We do not offer anything special for gamers. We also are a community college and have no dorms. It has been discussed but there wasn't much interest on behalf of the college to provide this, especially since the bandwidth would compete with academic use. We saw no valid reason to support it since it had to ties to our academic programs.

I believe that I need to add more to my initial post. We are a community college, no degree in gaming, the request has the backing of one faculty member and a few students that have formed a gamer club. Definitely an isolated network, they desire and we would agree this would be a BYOD computer, on the fence with allowing third party switch/hub/routers, they are asking for 50mb rate limit, at first blush is seems high. Additional thoughts, we have no policy that directly addresses gaming clubs. Someone brought up NAT issues with some games and the number of external IP addresses, a concern that I had also heard was reputation blocking on the addresses.

What are others doing? Am I over reacting by not allowing such activity?
