The fight to reinstate Simon Fraser University’s football program has become a legal battle.

“But the difficulty we’re getting here is we don’t have any feedback from the university. We’ve asked the question: ‘Is it about money?’ They’ve said, ‘No, no, it has nothing to do with money. The issue is we can’t find a conference.’ Our position is, ‘Well, you can find a conference. We can find you one, we’ve got one.’ Canada West hasn’t committed but they’ve been very clear that they would greatly appreciate an application and they’d look upon it favourably.

Less than a week later, the school announced the cancellation of its football program. Simon Fraser moved to the Lone Star Conference in 2022. On Tuesday, both Football Canada and the CFL Players’ Association followed suit with similar letters condemning the school for its decision and asking the program be reinstated.
