(8-11-26) The status of Vanlue’s football team is in question for 2026.

BVC Dismissal: The Blanchard Valley Conference voted to remove Vanlue from football membership starting in 2023–24 because low roster sizes made it difficult to safely field a full team consistently.
Independent Status: Vanlue opted to continue playing 11-man football as an independent program rather than joining the NWCC.
