DI college leagues are coming to a climax this weekend.
In Southern California, UCSB essentially has the league wrapped up. They
haven't clinched the league mathematically, but it's only a matter of time.
This weekend, 3-2 Loyola is at USC. They are favored this weekend but then

second.
In Northern... Read More

the questions surrounding it, as well as the increasing demand for a DIII
national competition. Still, the committee’s top priority remains clear:

Each of the USA Rugby’s four new committees have a lengthy to do list, but
some tasks rank higher than others. For the eligibility committee, the top
priorities are standardization and transparency, says committee chair Marty
Bradley.
“We’re not transparent enough, because right now a kid hears a kid on another
team got a waiver to play, and he feels like he has similar circumstance and
his... Read More

college game in the hands of those who know it best; college coaches,

Florida State won big, 29-3, over South Carolina. The Gamecocks play a
physical brand of rugby, and that gave the Seminoles fits in the opening
half, as they led just 10-3 at intermission, but FSU ran away with it in
the second.
“South Carolina is a big, tough bunch of guys. They just play really hard... Read More
