Research notes
Run by athletics (Pilots). First season was 2020-21 (first match February 2021). Valorant won the NACE national title in fall 2025, and Rocket League made the grand finals. An athletics release calls fall 2025 an 'Esports revival', so the program may have been dormant in 2023-25. Only Valorant and Rocket League are confirmed for 2025-26. Colors are approximate.
