I have heard that in a few states in the US there are colleges with paintball teams, is this true? if so why in the heck can't we get them in high schools??? I mean i know that it deals with guns and crap but it's not as bad as having a shotgun team or something at a high school, this would actually make me want to go to school! Tell me wut ya think.

Illinois has a pretty decent Colledge team... 

I dont Think Wyoming does, and I've never heard of a Utah, Idaho, or Montana one yet....   I know Colorado does, but unsure how good they are.

I would imagine that the reason not to many places adopt paintball is for liability reasons.

A shotgun team...that's interesting. My school doesn't have anything either they think it's violent.

Liability is a definete, for me there are a certain group of people in my school who sue for just about anything and everything, so paintball is a rather impossible request.
I love the smell of fresh Napalm in the mourning.

 I'm pretty sure that some northern schools have paintball teams and that there are maybe a dozen or so college paintball teams.

My school has like 3 teams, but they all suck, and they're not affiliated with the school at all.
