GRR: NCR
The Liberty Conference’s flirtation with its own, standalone collegiate organization wasn’t for nothing, despite the fact that the idea has changed into the group joining NCR.
We're trying to figure out where everyone will play.
As this writer said in a Facebook Live Q&A this week, for many college players, what their umbrella organization turns out to be won't change too much. Small college teams will go on as before. Men's D2 college teams will, with one or two exceptions, go on as before.
After a bit of a wait, the Liberty Conference has announced that it will join NCR.
The Liberty teams had discussed forming a group called USCRO, but after some time the leadership group realized that creating your own organization when another already exists was not sustainable. So USCRO was put aside as a stand-alone group, and NCR was embraced.
The expanded New England Wide Collegiate Rugby Conference (NEWCRC) has announced that it will join other Men's D2 conferences as part of National Collegiate Rugby (NCR).
When you’re looking at a new plan or new idea, what’s the first question that comes to mind? — “How much is this going to cost me?”
College rugby is changing significantly when it comes to who oversees what competitions, and with USA Rugby’s financial reorganization it’s reasonable to wonder if the old way of doing things, including how you pay to play rugby, will change too.
