OUA BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTES TO NOT SUPPORT MCGILL'S REQUEST FOR FOOTBALL PLAYING PRIVILEGES
HAMILTON, Ont. – The Ontario University Athletics (OUA) Board of Directors has voted to not support McGill’s request for playing privileges in OUA football.
The request for playing privileges is appropriate in circumstances when teams do not have access to sports in their own Regional Association. In the case of McGill’s football program, the university can and does play football in Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ) which is a viable league that allows McGill to compete in CIS football and the opportunity to compete for the Vanier Cup.
