It would be a little bit of a project, but lock them into a really long term deal with an enormous exit fee, and they would be tickled pink to get into NCAA ball. There actually already are smaller Canadian school playing in the NCAA in other sports. 

Canadian HS football players are increasingly making a stronger impact on FBS football, but there’s still some great talent that gets overlooked. Imagine if the Canadian players had a chance to play NCAA FBS at a Canadian University……you could probably get some of the P5 recruits to stay home. 

The other school I’m looking at I’ll post tomorrow….University of Calgary. They have a stadium at about 46k but can go to 60k if needed.

Don Coryell was the Head Ball Coach there.

Way back in 1953-1954.

I'm down.

Do they have a " GoFundMe to the MW" site ?

I brought this up years ago on the old scout wac board. I thought it would be a smart idea. Make the MWC get more viewers from Canada. TV networks love new markets, right? Sometimes you just have to find the right crowd.

Sorry, Converts stadium pick was head-turning.

Boise State’s likely starting WLB is a Canadian kid from Lethbridge. Lots of basketball talent from up there as well.

Craig Thompson has no creativity or vision.  We should’ve done that and with China.

A lot of MWC players and a few coaches/support staff wouldn't be allowed into Canada.  The Canadian border can access the criminal record of every American and they do not play. Any DUI even if it was plead down to a lesser charge such as reckless driving or negligent driving can result in a person being denied entry by border authorities. 

Illegal Aliens in the US will also not be allowed into Canada or have anyway of getting back into the US legally.
