I'm hearing reports on social media that the BYU rugby coaching staff have all quit. The program will apparently no longer compete nationally on a club level and will be relegated to an intramural sport. Anyone heard about this?

It’s kind of BYUs own fault for always toeing the line when it comes to rules.

We shouldn't be surprised that a yewt knows more about our "cheating" than we do
