 Buzz McClain: USA Rugby Versus MLR
To bring you up to speed, Major League Rugby, a privately operated league founded in 1997 as a way to provide aspiring US clubs from around the country better competition throughout the season, was denied referees for its championship tournament in Las Vegas.

With the national team in real danger of sitting out the next World Cup, there is growing resentment about the direction in which USA Rugby is headed, and it’s about to come to the surface.

 Letter to Chief State School Officers, Title IX Obligations in Athletics
Thus, the fact that a particular segment of an athletic program is supported by funds received from various other sources (such as student fees, general revenues, gate receipts, alumni donations, booster clubs, and non-profit foundations) does not remove it from the reach of the statute and hence of the regulatory requirements.
However, drill teams, cheerleaders and the like, which are covered more generally as extracurricular activities under section 86.31, and instructional offerings such as physical education and health classes, which are covered under section 86.34, are not a part of the institution's "athletic program" within the meaning of the regulation.
Following the approach of permitting separate teams, section 86.37(c) of the regulation permits the overall allocation of athletic scholarships on the basis of sex.

This is not only because they are among the top two or three best teams competing, but also because they've been handed a ridiculously easy group which should see them secure the top seeding for the next round.
That said, the list of quarter finalists will be distinctly different even if the national representations are static.
The vagaries of the seeding system mean it is impossible to predict which team will play which in the quarters but ultimately I predict Wasps and Biarritz, if they avoid each other in the semis, to face off in the final.
