Rugby in the ncaa?

Question

I want to help rugby become a sport in the ncaa, I know womens rugby is on the emerging sports list but I'm concerned about guys, so who would I write a letter to and what do I have to do to help get this to being a varsity sport, also i'd like all the informantion thats pro-rugby I can, how many players are there, how many school in the us have a team, how about in the world, number of fans etc, any info will help get this sport the recognition it deserves

Answer 1

Try the USA rugby union, they are the ones who don't want the NCAA to take over. Because if the NCAA does, the USARU knows that they won't have a say in anything. It's about power, it's about control. Honestly I think that the NCAA is the only way to go about creating a pro rugby USA. Hopefully the game will then be taken serious in high schools and the USA will be able to create rugby players from a young age. and about registered player check the IRB web site they show you how many registered players each country has.

good luck I support your cause.

cheers.
