GRR: College Men
The Mid-South is back on the field and already we've got a key matchup as Top-10 teams Lindenwood (#3) and Arkansas State (#7) meet in a game that will likely be very close.
The National Small College Rugby Organization has announced plans to further separate its operations from USA Rugby.
NSCRO already operates its own league structures and championships, and starting this coming fall, will also operate its own dues and insurance model.
It's Episode 4 of This Week In College Rugby, with a look at the D1A Open Qualifier in Las Vegas, a breakdown of what Saint Mary's is doing right, and a closer look at the start of the Mid-South.

The teams for the D1A and NSCRO collegate 7s tournaments at the Las Vegas MLR Weekend are set.
The tournaments will be held at the Silver Bowl fields in Las Vegas February 13-16, with the finals in Sam Boyd Stadium.
The D1A tournament is an open qualifier for the D1A National 7s Championships later this spring.
So we're back with the spring-focused conferences and already they've been in action.
Of note, Central Florida lost one game and won another by a single point. That's not a terrible start, but it's not enough to keep them in the Top 20. Other Florida results are enough to bring more Florida teams into the Top 40. We expect at least one team to start to separate and move further up.
