SCRC News
One of the issues within American collegiate rugby, especially past the most elite teams, is how one defines a division.

The SCRC has released its schedules for the fall of 2023.

Auburn has resisted pushes from some quarters to move to DIAA after some success in D2, and the D2 league will remain six teams.
