From TSNDaveNaylor: Cancellation of U Sports football, Vanier Cup tough blow for future CFL players:
The focus of the sports world amid the COVID-19 pandemic has understandably been on the most prominent professional leagues, given the money and jobs at stake and the financial resources they can bring to try to ensure there are adequate safety precautions in place prior to restarting their seasons.
It’s a massive loss for what is the biggest football league in the country and the primary development platform for Canadian talent in the CFL. Schools also felt a need to give students clarity about what they would be happening this summer, with training camps for U Sports football having been scheduled for August.
That becomes a tougher challenge on campuses that are going to be closed to returning students, but the guidance on physical training and film study will continue this season even without a schedule of games.The league has had loose discussions with U Sports officials about how the two may work together to assist players who were entering their final years of eligibility and hoping to enter next spring’s CFL Draft.
