per the article 40 schools have to have teams for it to be a full championship sport. how many schools have teams now?


shite if thats the case then why isnt rugby?

over 1000 colleges have rugby teams and it is also considered one of the fastest growing sports. Do they have to be considered varsity teams to reach that 40?

Women's rugby shares the emerging sport classification with Sand Volleyball.

Until the way Title IX scholarships are counted (I say don't count football at all), you won't see a push for the NCAA to add a predominantly male sport. And you won't see many schools adding male sports in general, without offsetting it by adding a couple women's sports.

mens rugby has 0.

all of those 1000s you refer to are just club teams.
