Simon Fraser University is reportedly exploring the possibility of joining U Sports and/or other Canadian competitive frameworks. The Province explains that SFU’s teams were a part of the U Sports Canada West Conference before they moved to and became the sole Canadian member of the NCAA Division II in 2010. The university noted challenges with competing in the US, such as potential issues at the border, “changes to the competitive framework,” and “restrictions on our ability to affect NCAA decision-making.” The university has confirmed that it plans to pay the initial application fee to U Sports to “ensure that all paths are open to us” when a decision is reached.
