Football is changing, and IC is a part of it.
“Football is an American institution, but it’s one that women haven’t always had access to. Flag is changing that. We’ve opened the doors, and women are kicking down the walls.” — Brian Flinn ’96
Ithaca College is adding women’s varsity flag football, with the Bombers set to take the field in spring 2028! As one of the nation’s fastest-growing sports, flag football is expanding opportunities for women in athletics. Helping lead that growth is IC alumnus Brian Flinn ’96, the NFL’s senior vice president of global flag football, who is expanding the sport worldwide ahead of its Olympic debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Games.
