GRR: College Men
There is just not enough data at the moment to move anyone. The next few weeks will see more teams do more in DIA and DIAA, and thanks to that we'll start to see movement.
West Virginia University's men's rugby team is one tiny step away from joining the Rugby East Conference for the 2015-2016 college season.
The Rugby East voted earlier this week to accept WVU into the conference. Now what remains is for USA Rugby's DIA Commissioner, Kevin Battle, to OK the move. However it's unlikely Battle will see a major problem with the move.
One of the strange things about the Red River DIA Conference is that, while the teams involved have not finished all of their games, and have had to wait some months to finish, the league itself is decided as Oklahoma played all five of their conference matches in the fall, and won them all.
The Louisiana State University team is back on the field after being suspended for the fall season.
The team was suspended after a player’s parent brought beer to a post-match function. The team was forced to forfeit all of its games, the ones they played and the ones they weren’t allowed to play.
Lindenwood University has released its Winter/Spring 2015 schedule, and it’s a tight follow-up to a long and arduous fall 2014.
On February 7 the Lions will face both New Orleans RFC men’s club and Louisiana State University. They follow that up with a trip to Las Vegas for the LVI 7s qualifier for the Collegiate Rugby Championships invitational to be held in Chester, Pa.
