And for what reason is it changing is the better question? None of these kids are going to go on in play in the NFL (maybe 1 every decade or so), and the CFL isn't exactly a financial windfall (most would be better off financially finishing their education and entering the work force).It's changing to feed the ego of a handful of coaches around the league that refuse to turn pro because they know the advantages they have would be nulified on a level playing field.
A team like Laval is the perfect example of what is wrong with the CIS. A private business doubling as a university team.
I love pro sports, but I don't want it mixed with the CIS.
And for the record..... I have no problem with a player changing schools for academic reason. Maybe another school offers a program others don't for example.
