E-Sports

Cleveland State University launched a Division I esports program which kicked off its inaugural season in the fall of 2022.

Now they have inaugurated a new Esports Lab in Fenn Hall on September 24, 2024, located within the Washkewicz College of Engineering. This marks a major advancement for the university's esports program, which previously operated off-campus at the Cavs Legion Lair. The creation of the dedicated lab was a collaborative effort, with significant contributions from Dr. Susan Carver and Dr. Richard Schoephoerster. Their support, along with efforts from the FAST and IS&T staff, ensured the lab was ready for use by student-athletes in August. PJ Farrell, Director of Esports, expressed enthusiasm for the new space, emphasizing its role in strengthening the program and creating opportunities for growth. The lab also supports CSU's involvement in major esports events, such as high school playoffs and collegiate tournaments. Cleveland State's esports teams compete in the GLEC and NACE Premier Conferences across titles including Rocket League , League of Legends , Valorant , and Overwatch . [18]

Football

On October 14, 2008, Cleveland State University President Michael Schwartz stated "he wants a blue ribbon panel to give him a recommendation on the football team before July 1 when he is scheduled to retire. He also said the program will have to be structured to pay for itself." [19] On November 19, 2008, it was revealed that President Schwartz had chosen the committee members to explore the feasibility of football at Cleveland State. [20] On October 9, 2009, it was announced the university had completed its feasibility study. [21] From April 12–14, 2010 the Cleveland State Student Government Association polled students online about whether they favored football at Cleveland State. The results were as follows. [22]
