If I did, I would have put it in my "honors and activities" section as a one-liner bullet point.

If you were to include it as an actual job/position on your resume, then

It would be fine if he just listed his accomplishments in soccer in one bullet and limited it to collegiate and semi-professional experience.

i.e.
- Starting Goal Keeper for Division II soccer program 2002-2004 (or whatever); selected to Team USA Under 18 team as Goal Keeper

- Starting Place Kicker for Mobile Bay Tarpons, professional arena league football


That's totally legit.

Depends. I think its a good thing. I was recently involved with helping place a fellow Auburn graduate who was an NCAA national Champion diver. I think that is worth putting on a resume for sure.

So you dont think putting you were a college athlete at LSU helps or is a good idea? Some crazy mofos up on this site
Well if its LSU and you're applying for a job with a LA company then I agree. I was thinking more along the lines of a Div II shithole like the OP said.

What about the schools giving out scholarships for gaming?

I was 3x NCAA Champion of Call of Duty.
