Research notes
Run by the student club Gaming @ IU (founded 1998 as the IU Computer Gaming Club). Its about page says esports started around 2014-15 and that the club has 5+ titles and about 15 teams. No exact start year is given, so since is null. The game list comes from the logos on the club's esports page (Dota 2 also shown, but it has no code); the page does not confirm which games have active 2025-26 teams. BEC membership is from a March 2024 CSMG release (press), not an IU page. No athletics or university esports office found.
