Research notes
Badger Esports is led by faculty sponsor/director Prof. Chris George; its guidelines describe a sponsored student program, not athletics, so marked club despite 'varsity teams' wording. Founded fall 2018; joined NJCAAE about 2024-25 (Madden 25 national title). Fall 2026 also entered Tekken 8 and Madden.
