Remaining Seven Heart of America Teams Join NCR
Seven teams from the former Heart of America D1AA Conference are moving to NCR.
Arkansas, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State are all moving out of what had been a USA Rugby-affiliated Heart of America into a new, seven-team conference.
Five teams that were part of that conference are staying with CRAA, although one will be undergoing some changes following a University merger.
