GRR: College Men
BOULDER, Colo. – USA Rugby has selected the 2013-14 Men’s Collegiate All-American, Honorable Mention All-American, and Sevens All-American teams, honoring deserving men’s college rugby players from across the country.
The United States Military Academy rugby teams will be made varsity programs starting August 1.
The decision, made by the USMA Senior Policy Board, which is chaired by the Academy's Superintendent, Lt. Gen. David H. Hunton, Jr., comes on the heels of a disciplinary action against the Army men's team, an action that began in the spring of 2013.
The University of Washington alumni association has announced that former Eagle Kevin Swiryn will be taking over as Head Coach.
The Husky Alumni Association Director, Mike Alfstad, said that previous Head Coach (and another former Eagle), Brian Schoener, stepped down because his growing family needs his attention.
USA Rugby will likely be taking some actions this year to protect the term “National Championship.” It’s unclear whether USA Rugby can actually do this, but they are looking at ways to prevent other competitions (highest profile being the Collegiate Rugby Championship - CRC - and the Varsity Cup) from calling themselves a National Championship.
The University of Michigan is looking for a new Men's team Head Coach.
The position is a paid one, with the successful candidate getting $7,000 per semester (Fall and Winter), plus a percentage of all annual donations to the team.
The team needs a coach as soon as possible.
The job summary is as follows:
