Too tough to compete (i.e. spend the required dollars) with Laval and Montreal.
"It's been very hard to try and compete and to try and raise the same dollars with schools that have private funds coming their way in a business model. It's been extremely difficult to follow that bandwagon," says Bishop's associate athletics director Joey Sabo.
Bishop's feels its football program will be on equal footing in the AUS since they will primarily compete with universities that share the same funding philosophy.
"The AUS has offered not only our best bang for our buck but also playing against institutions that resemble our enrolment size, our strengths and our weaknesses," Sabo says.
