Congrats Mr Dube!
Technically with no one playing football this year, anyone would be able to transfer and play right away in 2021. Could be interesting.
Good point.
Might be hard for LD-T to walk away from millions of dollars.
Thought a topic not involving Covid might be in order. Was just wondering about who the USports players in the NFL were.
Tevaughn Campbell, Brett Jones and Akiem Hicks for Regina.
ODonnell from...
Let's call all the Conferences and have them issue a vote of non-confidence , asking USports
to disband, then start fresh with a round of negociations between U's and Conf to establish
a...
Alberta just pulled the plug on all their teams for the year. They site financial problems for the cancellation. Not sure what that means for other teams for after Xmas competition.
Dick White states that unless a vaccine is found by new year, all sports will likely be cancelled.
I think he tried to get changes made but was stymied by the Uni Presidents. Jim could speak best to this. It just shows how resistant to change the powers that be are. We will never produce a better...
U of R is putting it out that he resigned but I am hearing he was fired. Harold Reimer, the Dean of Kin and Steve didn’t see eye to eye. Reimer wanted a yes man. Reimer has been a disaster since he...
Do we have any reason to be optimistic that USports leadership has the collective heading in the correct direction. I sadly have lost hope. Can anyone make the argument that we have made progress?
To be honest there are only 10-12 teams that can win the Vanier and those have a 1.5-2 million $ a year budgets. Should a super league of these teams be formed and let the other teams compete for a...
Would be nice to have them on same network. CBC did a good job.
The big o lineman from Alberta would be good for the western nomination.
Anybody know who has been invited to Shrine Game?
One thing that frustrates me is the lack of big donors (6 or 7 figures) by Rams alumni or local businesses! As far a I know we have never received a $100K or greater donation. I applaud the other...
Homer talking here, teams are lucky Rams didn’t get in. They were playing great ball. Things looks very good for next year!
PS-former ram Tevaughn Campbell just activated by SD Chargers. Yet another...
Maybe they will send updates via smoke signals?
The Rams add yet another quality QB, Noah Pelletier from Regina. He would be the fourth CFC top 100 QB on team next year. If they all come back.
Coach Bryce is a very good coach. He may not recruit the biggest or most athletic guys, buy he gets good 'football' players.
Rams will be competitive.
Dheilly of Huskies will be all Canadian and maybe lead country is sacks.
Go back to CIAU. That was very unique.
Awesome!
If they did move programs to USports they would have to adhere to USports scholarship rules.
The two Alaska schools would have to move all programs to USports. Since hockey is there big sport, they would be a nice fit in Canada West.
Not football, but thought I would post here. the two Alaska schools will soon be on own (no conference) for hockey and their athletics departments might be cut all together. They would make a nice...
What U of S did was a total slap in the face to the high achievers and donors on that board! The BUREAUCRACY has FUBAR'ed things here at U of R as well.
Congrats Jim!
After Montreal, Laval, Western, Calgary and maybe one other oua or CW team, who really can compete for a national title. That is the definition of a Brocken system!
CW, Montreal and Laval, and...
You have got to be kidding me! They are talking about esports over other issues today?!?
It appears to me conferences have to be the source of change and not give a sh!t about what USports says!
I have a feeling the 8 team football interlock playoff format will be forwarded the USports AGM. Big loser in AUS who likely never get two teams in.
Has Graham Brown come through with these...
is there a link to full combine results? Or like everything, is USports going to cornhole it and never release them.
So will try this one last time, did any here about what was discussed at that meeting?
Any news as to what was discussed at meeting?
Just saw a post that there is a major meeting re strategic plan for USports football today. Involves USports, CFL, Football Canada, etc. Anyone have any details?
"The CFL and its teams recently announced plans to invest more than $4 million in amateur football programs and initiatives this year as part of CFL 2.0."
Does anyone know how this money will be...
People who continue to put down Laval as semi-pro team, etc, are just jealous of their success. Don’t fall for their trolling and let them wallow in their own little green world.
Them joining Canada west would be perfectly fine with me!,
The easy answer it to have Ottawa, Carleton and Queens join the Q as ii was 20+ years ago. Those teams should balance out some of the wins and losses, occasionally getting one of the big two but...
Jim, as I Ram fan I am hugely disappointed. But, what if the player had been a star quarterback who had a huge hand in winning those two games? Rules are rules and I personally am against the...
All of these terribly lopsided games is hurting everything, general interest, attendance, etc
The Rams under Coach B will be fine.
My best guess is that the two Nicks end up in Saskatoon and play for the Huskies next year.
As much trouble as what’s they were, Rams D misses it two biggest play makers; Nick Dheily and Nick Cross.
Here is what I know. Rams submitted marks of student to AD’s office. They said he he was good to go, so he played. Last week someone figured out the AD’s office goofed. They self reported.
Rams...
IMHO, a rule was brocken so you have to pay the consequences. No malice was intended and the mistake was in the AD’s office. We just have to keep focused on today and keep grinding.

Rams will be in contention with Calgary and UBC. Check out their web page as they added several impact recruits from both sides of the border.
Great news and great job Jim! Hopefully it’s just a beginning.
The whole idea is to generate revenue and then share it EQUALLY among the schools.
