Statistics report student athlete participation at the collegiate varsity level only and do not reflect club or intramural teams. Rugby is an NCAA Division I and II emerging sport for women and is an equivalency sport which means athletic scholarships can be split into partial awards in any proportion up to the maximum allowed. For example, an NCAA I school can award 24 women each a 1/2 athletic scholarship and still comply with the team limit of scholarships.
