Five teams from the Rugby East have announced that they are moving to NCR exclusively.
In the midst of a discussion about having all members be D1A, even if they also are NCR members, the teams that compete in NCR's postseason have decided to leave Rugby East and form a separate NCR-only Conference.
It is enormously difficult to repeat in a major championship.

Independents Red wrestled back the NCR All-Star title a year after losing it to the Midwest.
This is the third year out of four that the New England Independents have won this tournament.
The Midwest looked very strong after sweeping through Pool Play on Saturday and torching the Mid-Atlantic 52-0 in the quarterfinals.
The Midwest-area teams are at the top of the heap after Day One of the NCR Men's All-Star tournament in Atlanta.
