CONFERENCE TOURNAMENTS SPRINGING UP ALL OVER
The past three years have seen rugby teams from schools in the Pac-10, SEC, ACC, Big 10, and Big 12 gather for unofficial “conference tournaments.” And now teams from schools in some of the smaller conferences around the country are following suit. This weekend in Statesboro, GA, Georgia Southern University will host the first Southern Conference (SoCon) Rugby Tournament. Teams expected to attend are Georgia Southern, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Furman, Davidson, and Appalachian State. Further north, talks are in the works to hold an Atlantic 10 Rugby Tournament, with St. Bonaventure University’s team heavily involved in the planning. And of course, the precursor to all of these tournaments was the Ivy League, who will hold the 41st Annual Ivy Championship later this spring.
