Rugby is not recognized as a varsity sport at the collegiate level, resulting in high school rugby players, who are elite athletes, to be robbed of the opportunity to receive an athletic scholarship. The inability to receive an athletic scholarship results in many rugby player's dream to attend college, or a certain college, to be shattered due to financial struggles. In addition, current players at the collegiate contribute greatly to their respected school's spirit, reputation, and community in a positive manner and should be rewarded with a scholarship for their contribution to their schools. The NCAA recognizing rugby as a varisty sport will allow for a plethora of great opportunities to be presented to elite rugby players.
