Until very recently most if not all college rugby teams were clubs funded either by student associations, dues, fundraising or a combination of all three. In all cases budgets were tight, but determined teams found ways to make it work. The rugby community thanks and commends the many schools who now sponsor and recognize rugby as a sport just like any other school sponsored athletic team.
To address the injury issue I urge you to read the following article which is one of many comparing rugby to other popular collegiate contact sports: http://m.thepostgame.com/blog/eye-performance/201310/rugby-football-concussions-tackling-safety-technique
Best of luck CCRF

The current Welsh National team has a lawyer, a medical doctor and a medical student in its ranks, so clearly the injuries from this sport don't render the players stupid. That's just an excuse.
