Ever since we first reported Notre Dame College in South
Euclid plans to close,
other schools have been coming forward to make sure students
have a place to further their education.
One of those schools, Walsh University in North Canton,
will now give Notre Dame's men's and women's rugby teams
a new home.
Currently, Walsh doesn't have a rugby program,
but according to the university,
more than 55 members of Notre Dame's teams have applied.
News 5 anchor Rob Powers spoke with the VP of
Enrollment who said it's a great opportunity for all.
Each student got to sign a letter of intent to
come to Walsh University and play for US rugby,
and then we met with every student individually to go
over their financial plan.
We went over their degree plan.
Notre Dame rugby teams compete in Division One in the
Rugby E Conference of the National Collegiate Rugby.
