Research notes
Level set to club: run by Campus Recreation, and the evidence conflicts. Run by Campus Recreation (not Athletics), with coaches and staff, a team roster, a recruiting form and jerseys; competes in the Missouri Valley Conference esports league. Classed as varsity because the university runs it, though it could be read as club-like. Mario Kart and iRacing are also listed. Only an older version of the Scholarships360 page named Valpo; the current page does not.
