Because sports are mob controlled. Besides Jersey City State college need the money for Edgar Smith, to pay him for his speaking engagement at the school. Him being a murderer. The CIA thought that was more important. I got to meet Edgar Smith at Jersey City State, he was on their speakers program. You see murder is a much more important sport than pinball. The NCAA and the college will not list it on their site(supposed to be our site) that the first game was college game was held there. NO MONEY was given for us to play, entertain our guest from ABC TV, Paul Bloom, WNET, Or any newspaper reporter either that covered the games. See EDGAR'sstory here. http://www.crimemagazine.com/03/edgarsmith,0825.htm Plenty of money there, but not for pinball. The CIA indicated murder was a better sport!

This is correct, Edgar Smith was given money to talk at Jersey City State after he pleaded guilty to murder of a girl in Mahwah NJ. He was the guy that sat in the same cell Bruno Hoffman was in, after Bruno Hoffam got the chair, for killing the Lindburg kid. They did not have a dime for the pinball team, as JCSC did not consider it a NCAA recognized sport. Keep in mind NCAA is athletics not sports , but they decide what is a sport. The dictionary say anything for a pasttime, pleasure etc is a sport. The news services all called it a sport. Princeton had the first football team in NJ. Hoboken had the first competion Baseball game at Elisian field, where the now defunct Maxwell House plant was built eventualy. NJCU university does not even mention at it's sports page about the games. No pride in being first at a sport their. Why else would the machine flying carpet have been given up on in favor of Operation Flying carpet. It was in Jersey City that the ryder truck was rented to carry the first bomb into the world trade center. You see, it became this way. Closed Doors for sports of others. Many Irish, Spanish, Italian and Iranians were involved with the games. We simply understood who owned what. Wonder if the NCAA would consider the coloseum in rome way back as a sport? William F. Buckley former candidate for mayor of NYC was the guy that got Edgar Smith released. Buckley was/is CIA. Smith is doing time in California for another attempted murder. Wonder when they will be letting him out to help out with sports again. I would have got my Doctorate if it reason were the case in the Department of Higher Education.

Jersey City? Isn't that where the first flying carpet came from, meaning Salamie, the guy that hit the WTC building in the garage? Isn't flying carpet the machine in the Columbo TV show series that was called the "conspirators"? Isn't Jersey City State the school that had Herbert J Leder as a teacher, the guy that gave Peter Falk his first job in the movies , in a movie called "Pretty Boy Floyd"? Was one of the pinball machines called "Flying Carpet" used in the games at JCSC?

Maybe it's because the pinball players don't know enough proper English to get into college. "Why was there no scholarships offered for people to play pinball as a college sport? Why does the NCAA not recognize it as a sport" lol
