better anytime soon. USA Rugby has bet huge on MLR and 7s, and I don't see it either a net positive as they both fail to provide any real path for quality player development that will incentivize good high school athletes to pursue rugby seriously.

With the worse beating ever (104 - 14) today and recent loss to Uruguay the US needs to take a hard look at where rugby stands, but the incentives of USA Rugby and the MLR owners are not aligned in a way that can foster grass roots growth of the game.
