GRR: NIRA Women
Return to play in college rugby looks to be a confused cluster after this week.
Colleges around the USA are coming up with creative and disparate plans to get students back to school, and for rugby programs that isn’t necessarily good news.
Through all the discussion of which college conferences will join which college umbrella organization, we at Goff Rugby Report felt it was time once again to look at who is going where.
To do that we took official announcements, a little rumor, and plenty of analysis and guesswork to come up with some numbers.
The National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA), which is the competition for NCAA varsity women's college rugby programs, has released its all-academic team.
The list was divided into three groups, a list of those earning a Grade Point Average of 3.7 or higher, a list of those with GPAs of 3.5-3.7, and those with GPAs of 3.3 to 3.5.
PHILIPPI, WV – The Alderson Broaddus women's rugby team has been awarded the 2020 Skirmy for the school's Team of the Year.
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.
