RMU to launch NCAA Division I women's flag football program

Robert Morris University will introduce a women's flag football program for NCAA Division I in the 2027-28 season. This decision follows the NCAA's addition of women's flag football to its Emerging Sports for Women program in January. The sport is set to debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. RMU's athletics director, Ron Moses, expressed excitement about the opportunity for female student-athletes. The university will conduct a national search for the inaugural head coach next week, who will play a crucial role in shaping the program. Further details about the program and competition schedule will be announced later.
