There was a lot of news over the holiday weekend with the Eagles 7s getting a new assistant and players moving overseas. Hopefully not lost in the shuffle was the fact that Arkansas State has joined the Varsity Cup. As I write in my latest column at RugbyRugby the Red Wolves decision to join the Varsity Cup should probably tip the scales in favor of the Varsity Cup in it's competition with DI-A. The Varsity Cup now has more top tier depth and will likely be adding more teams. With there being less depth in DI-A with the Red Wolves departure there is less incentive for a team like St. Mary's or to stay in DI-A if they receive a Varsity Cup invitation.
