GRR: NIRA Women

To do that we took official announcements, a little rumor, and plenty of analysis and guesswork to come up with some numbers.
The National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA), which is the competition for NCAA varsity women's college rugby programs, has released its all-academic team.
The list was divided into three groups, a list of those earning a Grade Point Average of 3.7 or higher, a list of those with GPAs of 3.5-3.7, and those with GPAs of 3.3 to 3.5.
PHILIPPI, WV – The Alderson Broaddus women's rugby team has been awarded the 2020 Skirmy for the school's Team of the Year.
We're trying to figure out where everyone will play.
As this writer said in a Facebook Live Q&A this week, for many college players, what their umbrella organization turns out to be won't change too much. Small college teams will go on as before. Men's D2 college teams will, with one or two exceptions, go on as before.
This coming week we’ll hear more about the goings on in college rugby—where conferences will play and what organization they will join.
