I certainly didn't mean to imply it was nonexistent. Some cases
where crossover is definitely occurring (though more aimed towards
the goal of getting academic curricula about games started up, with
the goal of degree-granting programs in games development):

  http://www.igda.org/academia/
  http://www.joystick101.org/
  http://gamestudies.org/
  http://www.annenberg.edu/interactive-age/
  http://www.mime.indiana.edu/
  http://www.etc.cmu.edu/

This is just off the top of my head--there are many more.
