So as a college football fan and history nerd, I was following up on something I heard about where Cal and Stanford did not play football for about 8 years or so in the early 1900s and instead played Rugby- My scenario would be that Rugby somehow stays popular on the west coast and in the western US (at least west of the Rockies) instead of adopting football like the rest of the country- What would have to happen for the western US to follow Rugby instead of gridiron football?
