GRR: Big 10 Conference
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The eight teams of the Big Ten plus Notre Dame made their way to Purdue for Leg Two of the 2022 Big Ten 7s Series. Indiana sat atop the standings after week one in Champaign.
For the first time since Spring, 2019, the Big Ten Universities Rugby Conference assembled for a league 7s tournament.
The players have changed since COVID – Minnesota has left the conference while Penn State has joined (for 7s only).
The Big Ten Universities Rugby Conference has admitted Penn State to its Spring 7s competition.
This is a big move for Big Ten University Rugby as it helped elevate the standard of competition with addition of one of the top programs in the country.
The Big Ten Conference named Ohio State scrumhalf Vince Carso as its MVP and Buckeyes Head Coach Tom Rooney as Coach of the Year in its end-of-season awards.
After the Big Ten Championship game, someone called out to Ohio State Head Coach Tom Rooney—“Hey Tom, don’t you feel 25 pounds lighter with that monkey off your back?”
