The University of Southern California men's rugby team has been suspended for the fall of 2016.

In a statement, USC Head Rugby Coach Dominic Riebli said the team is withdrawing from all fall 7s tournaments, and that the team's spring schedule is currently in doubt. Riebli did not say why the team has been suspended, saying that he was unsure if he was at liberty to discuss details.

The team is slated to appeal its suspension in December.
