Ivy League Regular Season Wrap-Up & Analysis
Rugbymag.com has been enthusiastic about providing extensive weekly coverage of Ivy League Rugby this Fall. A major motivation for doing so is the fact that the Ivy League is, to our knowledge, the only US collegiate rugby competition that is conducted in a manner identical to the way traditional American sports (e.g. football, baseball and basketball) are conducted - against traditional school rivals.
By Ed Hagerty
It’s our belief that the collegiate game will grow in popularity, attracting fans, campus support and financial backing by scheduling traditional collegiate opponents. And the Ivy League was the first to put this theory into practice
We encourage other colleges to follow their lead.
