GRR: College Men
The NCAA Board of Governors was expected today to announce a halting or delay of fall sports championships, but stopped short of that recommendation.
After a highly successful New York 7s campaign that saw the Met NY Collegiate Selects go undefeated to win the Cup, scoring 182 pts and allowing just 42 in 5 games, the AC Rugby Foundation has looked to expand its outreach by backing a collegiate selects 15s team.
Iona College Rugby has decided not to compete this fall.
Iona Head Coach Bruce McLane told Goff Rugby Report today, Wednesday, that the team will not play any games at least until 2021.
McLane said he expects most teams in the Northeast to come to this decision at some point, and decided that the students would benefit from an early decision.
In an anonymous survey, Goff Rugby Report asked D1A Head Coaches what they thought of the inaugural Major League Rugby Draft, and it's safe to say that, according to the coaches, it needs some work.
Coaches generally liked the concept of the MLR Draft, with 58% saying they thought it was a good idea (see chart top left).
But those who didn't care for it had some thoughts:
An anonymous poll of D1A coaches put together by Goff Rugby Report has reached a pretty strong consensus on the best assistant coach in the men's college game.
Among a series of questions we asked D1A coaches last week was whi is the best assistant coach in the college game.
