Over this next season, Idaho State University's Rugby team will be changing from the Utah Rugby Union to the Pacific North West Rugby Football Union. Not only is this union more structurally organized and reputable, but the opportunity might also be the chance Idaho State University rugby has been waiting for, in order to be seen as relevant and good in the nation's eyes. This potential in popularity could open up many new doors for the team, as well as ISU.
However, this also comes at a price. By switching to the Pacific North West Rugby Football Union the team would be traveling even further distances in order to compete against their opponents. Since the majority of the funds for travel comes out of the pocket of the teammates this poses a threat for players, putting even more stress on the team.
