The Big Rivers Rugby Conference (BRRC) is men’s collegiate rugby competition competing under National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) in Division 1.
The conference is largely consistent in that it features school-supported programs at schools that don't have particularly large enrollments, all in the greater Midwest (Kentucky, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, and Indiana.
Marian and Thomas More move on to the Big Rivers final after both won semifinals this weekend.
Thomas More, the #1 seed from the East defeated Iowa Central 53-7 in fairly dominant fashion. For the Saints this was an indication of their improvement after they started the season with a loss to Kutztown.
One of the things that is rare to nail down is how some conferences match up with others.
This can be especially true within NCR, where the short runway of the fall means that inter-conference games mid-season are a luxury.
The Big Rivers are cutting a new course after some team changes from last season.
After reflecting on the past weekend in college rugby, we at GRR World Headquarters got down to looking at college conferences.
