Real talk, it doesn't seem like it. They ask for money on social media a lot.

I love the salty dawg logo.

It doesn't come through very well on the thumbnail, but there's gold "Bow Down" across the back of the helmet.

Everyone on the Lacrosse team was rich and white that I knew. They had zero fans though, even rugby drew a bigger crowd. I'd bet they are hitting all those rich donors up via social media to fund the sport.

Rugby is fun AF to watch and probably easier to understand for the uninitiated fan.

Rugby is all staffed by current team members. Results vary wildly because of this. This is how I ended up as de-facto social chair bc our then-current social chair got a girlfriend who hated rugby parties.

It's all funded by a trust established by ONE major donor and then fundraising directly by the team which is usually done by running security for the frats plus other outside events such as Seafair, as I've shared stories from.

does Larry Scott know which 2 sports are paying for the uniforms of the other teams?

Rugby is fully self-funded. We buy our own uniforms and gear. We pay to use the IMA fields.

All that said, Larry Scott still sucks.

Team looks pretty ethnically diverse. I like it.

I wouldn't even be mad if Adidas copied this design for one football game.

I had a property manager "friend" who was a Harvard Rugby guy. We couldn't have been more different but we worked good together. He also lived in Sahallee when the WGC was there so I could watch Tiger without going through all the riff raff

Rugby guys are their own breed

The players themselves come from rich, white families. That means they can afford to pay for everything they have. It doesn't mean any rich boosters are going to care enough to actually donate to what amounts to a 3rd tier sport (at least on the west coast).

Meanwhile #myrowboat has a $14,000,000 endowment and still gets mostly funded by athletic dept revenue. We’re rich biatch!!
