In what is probably the first ever appearance of college rugby on broadcast television, NBC will televise the first Rugby Sevens college championship, featuring a game between Yale’s rugby team.
NBC will broadcast the tournament, which will be held in June in Columbus, Ohio, in the 4:30 p.m. ET slot on Saturday and Sunday.
The Yale team is currently on tour in Ireland and will also make a stop to play a match in Cambridge.
Rugby Sevens will debut as an Olympic sport in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
