ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) — Ithaca College is adding a new varsity sport.

Beginning in the 2027-28 school year, there’ll be a women’s flag football program on campus. The team will compete during the spring semester.

Ithaca College Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Aaron Bouyea said the sport has “tremendous momentum” across the nation. Binghamton University will also begin competition in spring 2028.

“This is an exciting moment in women’s athletics, and Ithaca College is proud to be at the forefront of a movement that is reshaping the collegiate sports landscape,” Ithaca College President La Jerne Terry Cornish said.

A head coach for the Bombers has yet to be named.
