GRR: NCR

NCR Strips NMHU Of 2019 7s Title
Through all the discussion of which college conferences will join which college umbrella organization, we at Goff Rugby Report felt it was time once again to look at who is going where.
To do that we took official announcements, a little rumor, and plenty of analysis and guesswork to come up with some numbers.
It appears that, right now at least, USA Rugby and NCR are at an impasse.
Both sides are leaning on some legal arguments and some realities. The upshot is that USA Rugby is saying you have to be a member of the organization to be able to play members of USA Rugby, and NCR says that's wrong.
The small-college men's teams in National Collegiate Rugby have voted to hold their 15s national championship in the fall.
The story of the New Mexico Highlands punishment is a cautionary tale for many in college rugby, a tale whose moral is: we’re not there yet.
