Well, rugby football at least. I got this in the mail today.


"On another note, the Rice Rugby Board is pleased to announce that Rice Rugby will be joining the National Small College Rugby Organization (http://www.nscro.org/) for the upcoming season. The Rice Rugby board, coaching staff, and student leadership were unanimous in recommending a move to NSCRO based on conference stability, availability of an all-star program, and opportunity for postseason success.

Rice will join seven other small college teams including St. Edwards, Stephen F. Austin, and Angelo State in the Lone Star Conference. Friendlies against traditional rivals such as University of Houston and University of Texas are still being planned. I want to emphasize that Rice is not running from the competition, but has made a decision in the best long-term interests of the club, both on and off the pitch."

Clickbait in the defense of Rice Rugby is no vice.

Looks like SMU is in the conference, so we have a peer institution.

Would they be considered a signature win?

What conference were they in?

I don't think they're in the bottom quartile, but definitely not top 50.

You should've made the title: "Rice Football is going to be conference-mates with Angelo State"

We've Plutoed.
