GRR: College Men
National Collegiate Rugby has a men's and a women's team in the Algarve 7s in Portugal this weekend.
Dubbed the NCR Griffins, the women's team will play in the Women's Championship bracket.
Trine University Rugby has confirmed that it will be shifting from NCR to CRAA for the fall of 2025.
While this is just one team, as opposed to an entire conference (as when, for example, Lonestar announced a shift to NCR) it brings to the fore an interesting topic.
Jeremy Ognall sits down with Alex Goff to talk about the college split.
Ognall, Director of Rugby at Claremont Colleges, was asked to perhaps find a bridge between CRAA and NCR.
After talking to the parties, he speaks with Goff about what needs to happen for unity to be accomplished and whether it can happen.
The College Rugby Association of America (CRAA) has announced its 2024–2025 D1AA All-American selections, celebrating the nation’s top-performing Division 1AA collegiate rugby athletes.
The Heart of America D1AA Conference has confirmed two new additions for the 2024-25 season.
In the middle of what has become an annual shift of conferences and shift between oversight organizations, the HOA already has added Oklahoma after the Lonestar Conference announced a move to NCR and OU decided not to follow.
