DIAA College Rugby News
After a year when there wasn't much rugby, making it that much more difficult for college players to move and connect with senior clubs, we're actually seeing a very strong connection between collegiate rugby and club rugby in the USA Club 7s Championships.
The question of what to do when some college rugby teams are part of National Collegiate Rugby and some are part of USA Rugby-aligned groups like the ACR has been brought into sharp relief in the NCRC.
The Heart of American DIAA conference has settled its schedule for the fall of 2021.
The conference welcomes back Arkansas and also brings in the University of Minnesota, which moves from the Big 10.
The addition of these two programs makes the HOA now ten teams strong, so the teams within the conference agreed to split the conference into two geographical divisions.
The Mid American Collegiate Conference has set its schedule for the fall of 2021, with a couple of changes in the lineup of teams to add to the mix.
Alumni and friends of the South Carolina Men’s Rugby Club have launched an aggressive campaign to bring the program’s most noted alum back into the coaching fold as the university’s first paid head rugby coach.
The candidate should be familiar to long-time college rugby fans: John Roberts.
