Playing Quidditch at Northwestern?

Earthbound, it's called Muggle Quidditch. They have an intercollegiate league of their own, but I somehow don't think it will really catch on:
Here's brief look at the game: Each player needs a broom. One hand must be kept on the broom between your legs at all times as players run around trying to throw a slightly deflated volleyball, known as the "quaffle," past a goalie and into one of three goals, which are essentially Hula Hoops attached to PVC piping -- all this while trying to avoid being hit by rubber kick balls, or "bludgers."
That broom seems cruel.
