"The Committee on Women's Athletics wants to thank RCX Sports Foundation and USA Football for submitting the application. CWA looks forward to flag football being added to the Emerging Sports for Women program and watching the sport's exciting journey to NCAA championship status in the future."

The NCAA will consider adding flag football as a women's varsity sport in all three divisions. Division I, Division II and Division III leadership will be able to consider legislation approving the sport after the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics recommended its addition Wednesday.
