That's pretty cool. Hopefully the trend of former college football players switching to rugby continues. I have to believe that will really help grow the sport not just in terms of athletes on the field but in public awareness of the sport.

Do away with the Soccer Board and replace it with a Rugby Board.

Definitely helps getting former football players into rugby.

Anybody have any insight as to why it is not a NCAA sport? With women's rugby being big as well, you get past the Title IX stuff. I think this is the biggest hurdle right now in getting rugby mainstream.

My original proposal for what to do after the WC was to make the board a "European Sports Board" to deal with soccer, rugby, Aussie rules, etc.

The board does sometimes have rugby and Aussie-rules talk.
