History

As of November 2024, Nevada State University was actively planning to launch a fully-fledged athletics program, to be funded through a proposed student fee. If approved by the state Board of Regents, the funds from the proposed fee would be used to fund a campus athletics and recreation center and the launch of two initial sports, women's flag football and men's track and field. [1]

In January 2025, NSU President DeRionne Pollard announced the launch of an athletics program during the school's annual State of the University address. Women’s Flag Football and Men’s Track and Field, being the inaugural programs at Nevada State. [2]
