Every football player in Quebec dreams of playing for Laval. They basically just choose the best ones

Ok, the Dinos has some Americans on their team so they have a strong team. Quebec can't be producing that good talent to constantly beat other recruiting classes.

Quebec is known as being the football factory of Canada, but I would agree that the recruiting classes are all pretty similar. I don't know if Laval was playing more experienced players or not

Something is gotta be different, Dinos last year had 3 players drafted in the top 5 wheres Laval had total of 2 players drafted. I get the Dinos were really young this year but they destroyed everyone else on their way to Vanier cup berth only to be man handled by Laval (beside those 2 drives it was a mis-match).

Maybe Laval players are older because of CEGEP preuniversity in Quebec?

The running back Boutin is 23 years old.

The CIS allows the Laval program to have such an unfair advantage. They have a private owner who funds that team along with 15,000 fans every game so all the coaches are paid. Give Blake Nill the money & resources Glenn Constantin has & he'd win 8 Vanier Cups as well.

Laval just goes out and buys what they need. Spring camp in Florida every year paid for by the owner. Scholarships coming out the ying yang.
Private funding for scholarships? thats whacked...
