PAC Rugby Conference : ウィキペディア英語版 | PAC Rugby Conference The PAC Rugby Conference is a conference composed of six schools from the Pacific-12 Conference that compete against each other in college rugby. The PAC Rugby Conference was formed in 2012, with conference play beginning in February 2013 to compete in Division 1-AA. Despite its D1-AA affiliation, the PAC is one of the strongest conferences in college rugby, with five of its six members ranked in the Top 25 overall.〔Rugby Mag, All Divisions College Top 25, Jan. 28, 2013, http://www.rugbymag.com/cpl/6901-all-divisions-college-top-25-jan-28-2013-presented-by-selective-service-.html〕 The PAC Rugby Conference began play on February 2, 2013, with Cal beating Arizona State at Witter Field in Berkeley.〔Cal Wins PAC Opener Over ASU, Feb. 2, 2013, http://www.calbears.com/sports/m-rugby/recaps/020213aaa.html〕 In 2013, a number of PAC schools (Cal, UCLA, Utah) broke away from playing Division 1-A Rugby and instead formed the Varsity Cup Championship. ==History of rugby at PAC schools== Around the turn of the century, American football was frowned upon for its violence, and President Theodore Roosevelt insisted upon reform or abolition of the game. During this period of uncertainty, rugby made a brief but important reappearance in many colleges, most notably at Cal and Stanford. It was these two Universities that supplied most of the players to the two U.S. Olympic rugby teams that won gold medals at the 1920 Olympics & 1924 Olympics. (As 1924 was the last time the Olympic Games staged a rugby competition, this will make the USA the defending Olympic Champions when rugby is re-introduced in 2016).
