College Women
The Women's NCAA league has announced there will be no DIII league this coming fall.
National Intercollegiate Rugby Association Commissioner Amy Rusert distributed this announcement:
Various organizations within USA Rugby have some form of leverage.
NCR has a potential membership pool of 15,000, and a large percentage of that pool is happy to play rugby within their own competitive group. Thus, the potential threat from USA Rugby to ban cross-divisional play between NCR teams and non-NCR teams carries little weight with those teams.
The NCAA Board of Governors was expected today to announce a halting or delay of fall sports championships, but stopped short of that recommendation.
Here's our first look at what various states are doing with regard to return to school (High School and College) and return to sports.
Return to play for rugby is highly unlikely this fall, but there may be pockets where schools and colleges are in session and sports might be possible.
There are, according to the CDC, currently 3,555,877 cases of COVID-19 recorded, with 72,045 new cases reported yesterday. A total of 137,864 people have died (a fatality rate of 3.88%), with 926 deaths reported yesterday.
