Stunt continues to grow across the nation, and recently the Committee on Women's Athletics has recommended STUNT as an NCAA emerging sport.

The committee met on April 15, 2020 to review and discuss the application for STUNT to be included in the Emerging Sports for Women program. STUNT athletes, coaches, and administrators were able to share their positive experiences with the committee and the benefits of STUNT.

The committee voted to recommend STUNT to the three divisions as an emerging sport, noting the strong high school participation, increasing number of college STUNT programs, low-cost entry for institutions,  the diverse body types and sport backgrounds STUNT brings for female student-athletes, and the opportunities for female sport administrators, coaches and officials as part of the "compelling rationale to include STUNT as an emerging sport for women."
