I suspect you are correct, but this is multi variant problem. Are mismanagement and bad governance the main problem? I personally find our soft, wealthy, lazy society as the problem. Not sure how to measure that however.
What is worst example of mismanagement or bad governance in USA rugby?
It seems to me "the fastest growing sport" must of had some management of some governance to be "the fastest growing sport". Which is the "silliest growing claim", cause it is done growing now.

There are two - well, two and a half - things:
1. The financials show that the HP Men's team massively overspent against budget at the World Cup - and since. This is the second time it has happened. It meant there was very little money left for operating expenses.
2. The money invested in RIM that got sold on for cents on the dollar.
3. Spending of sponsors money that was meant to be dedicated to College Championships on other operating expenses.
3. Inability to pay constituent Unions the money due them as membership fees for their members.
4. A loan from WR from a year or two ago that couldn't be repaid.
5. Thereby necessitating a new loan from WR that essentially gives them close to control over USA R.
6. The claim of being "the fastest growing sport" was...dubious at best.
