In March 2025, Augustana began partnering with the Minnesota Vikings and five other NCAA institutions to launch a new collegiate women's flag football league — one of the fastest-growing sports in the nation, expanding rapidly at the high school and college levels. Thanks to support from the Vikings (and NFL), the program at Augustana has the financial foundation to succeed with potential pathways for increased recognition and competition in the future.
Participating schools — Augustana University, Concordia College, Gustavus Adolphus College, Bethel University, the University of Northwestern, St. Paul and University of Wisconsin, Stout — compete in jamborees, as well as a championship tournament at TCO Stadium. In 2025 — the league's inaugural year — Augustana finished in second place, having competed in the championship game.
