Research notes
Ambiguous: the K-State Esports Club has a Recreational Services esports coordinator (hired 2022), but it is described as a student club with no recruited rosters, so classified club. Only LoL is confirmed for 2025 (Feb 2025 foundation article). A 2023 Union post also listed Valorant, R6, CS and Smash teams in NACE/NECC.
