If anyone cared those sports wouldn't be broke

Thanks Taft!

Baseball, Softball, Tennis, Golf, Rowing, Track, etc. should be thankful for any money they receive from the only sports that actually generate a profit (Football and Men's Basketball). If you take more money away from those two sports, they become less competitive. Thus, even less money trickling down.

This has an odd parallel argument in the tug that I just can't seem to think of...

Might as well not even play the water polo matches at all!

They (Rugby) have low overhead and don't get funding from the athletic department.

#myrowboat gets about 75% of its funding from football and 25% from private donations and our? endowment which is over $14,000,000.00. Crew relies a lot on AD funding but has way more alumni support that any other non revenue sport and its not close.

UW's rugby team also isn't very good. Central skullfucks them every time they play.

Asians suck at Rugby. Bones are too brittle.

I skull fucked Colorado in row boat once. Didn't even know they had a team until the race was over.

It's true we don't have Rowboat's kind of overhead but ours is comparable to lots of other sports if they had to rely on their own revenue instead of Football/BBall cash.

I mean c'mon, how much does soccer actually cost vs. how much does UW spend on it?

Our? endowment pays for the majority of costs which came mostly from one generous alumnus when he passed away. No idea what the actual dollar amount is on it. I know it's not that big but it's big enough to pay coaches salaries, team travel, facilities fees, etc. year in year out.

Our alumni network is pretty weak, no argument there. As I've said before, our staffing is all via current club members so results year to year vary wildly in competency. Maybe if we had AD cash...chicken and egg. Or maybe if I get RaceBannon/TboonePickens rich I'll make UW rugby the next Clemson of college rugby.(Cal is unfortunately the Alabama of college rugby)

Central is also one of the best programs in the cuntry. #5 last I checked so there's only a few schools they don't skullfuck. Colorado is definitely not one of those few schools.

There's no academic exceptions for Rugby players so at UW you have to apply to play school like every other kid. That means that a non-competitive academic shit-stain like Central can actually recruit and clean up all the FS kids who aren't rich enough to go to Ivies or aren't good enough students to go to a school like Cal. UW is in a bad spot from that standpoint as they get caught in the middle ground. NCAA status for rugby would significantly change all that, hello academic clearinghouse exceptions and schollies. UW would probably at least dominate the PNW if that happened. As it stood they were ranked #43 and regularly win their division which is pretty good given the limitations.

College rugby is in flux with the varsity cup folding, many programs changing from club over to varsity status, and sevens gaining popularity. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out over the next decade.

Their biggest cost are schollies. After that travel.
