Bison football team out of the playoffs due to ineligible player
| Jan 5
After unknowingly playing an ineligible player, the Bisons are being forced to forfeit two wins. As a result, the football team is now out of the Canada West playoffs.
A compassionate appeal was filed with the CIS in the hopes of reinstating Julian Hardy's eligibility but it was not supported by the CIS. This means that the games that the Bisons won while Hardy was in the lineup are now counted as losses. This now moves Saskatchewan up to third place in the Canada West standings.
In depth coverage of this situation will follow in the next issue of the Manitoban.
