College Women
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.
American International College men's and women's rugby have announced that they will follow the lead of the university and the related sports conferences in not competing this fall.
The Northeast-10 Conference, which is where AIC plays most of its sports, announced that in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, all competition will be suspended through December 31.
Return to play in college rugby looks to be a confused cluster after this week.
Colleges around the USA are coming up with creative and disparate plans to get students back to school, and for rugby programs that isn’t necessarily good news.
Through all the discussion of which college conferences will join which college umbrella organization, we at Goff Rugby Report felt it was time once again to look at who is going where.
To do that we took official announcements, a little rumor, and plenty of analysis and guesswork to come up with some numbers.
