National Collegiate Rugby has been undergoing some staffing changes—adding staff and consolidating some positions—and this week announced that current Director of Men’s Rugby, Brad Dufek, will be retained in that position.

Dufek's role is now expanded to include 7s, as NCR moved 7s Director Pat Clifton to a full-time media position. Dufek will oversee D1, D1AA, D2, and D3 in 15s and 7s for NCR; in the past there had been separate commissioners or directors for different divisions.

Under Dufek NCR has expanded from small college exclusive to the other divisions, and overseen the setup of conferences and infrastructure. Key among these could well be a strongly-defined stratifying of what makes D3, D2, D1AA, and D1. While there have been a hiccup or two, overall what Dufek was able to do was create definitions that funneled teams into those divisions. That clarity has been important to how NCR is structured.
