Divisional and Geographical Factors Help Prompt Principia Move to Midwest Conference

Principia College has announced a bit of a revamp of its rugby program and will join CRAA's Midwest Conference in its D1AA tier.

Principia pulled back from its higher-level competition last year after some on-campus changes and the loss of former Head Coach Philip Kellerman. After dropping out of NCR's D1 and the Big Rivers Conference, Principia moved to D2, but also still struggled because of the coaching questions and the roster turnover.
