GRR: College Men
The R7CC 7s in Atlanta, May 14-15 is talking a lot about improving the athlete experience, and much of that has to do with some fairly basic, but important details.
Those details are things like: How do we get around? Where do we train? What medical care is there?
None of this is particular sexy, but it's enormously important to the players and teams.
Iowa State won the Heart of America 7s over the past weekend, putting themselves in position to play in the R7CCs in Atlanta.
Well a lot happened and not a lot happened in DIAA rugby.
We've got lots of reports:
Florida State Battles Past UCF for Florida DIAA Title
The finalists for the 2021-22 Rudy Scholz Award have been named.
The four players, who coincidentally will all be in action this coming weekend in the DIA semifinals, were selected from the previous list of 16 nominees based on votes from college rugby teams, as well as fans, from around the country. The opinions of college rugby coaches and experts weight heavily in this vote.
It wasn't easy but Florida State did end up running the table in the Florida DIAA league, edging a tenacious Central Florida to take the conference.
As we have outlined, since the Florida DIAA Conference is not a member of any over-arching competition group, their champion does not advance to any national-level competition.
