Doesn't sound like it's happening.

@jknavel: If so (rugby falling under athletics) it would be news to me. I wouldn't get hopes up on that.

Varsity sport - Not going to happen.

I would bet that the announcement will be about our participating in some ultra elite Rugby tourney. Remember how NBC did not want us in some tourney a few years ago (they wanted to make it like football and the big 6 conferences were chosen). Bet that we are now invited to the table, or the tournament.
