Canadian university to join NCAA D-II

Former Buckeye Simon Fraser started his own school and is bringing it into NCAA football :tongue2:

Simon Fraser University to join NCAA Division II

Beginning with the 2011-12 season, after a two-year transition period, all of SFU's Clan varsity teams will compete in the NCAA's Division II in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
...
SFU has 19 Clan teams competing in the small-college National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics in the U.S. and Canadian Interuniversity Sport. Men's wrestling now competes in both NAIA and CIS.

As I understand it, Canadian college athletics don't offer scholarships, so it's interesting that SFU didn't join at the D-3 level, but maybe the Great Northwest Conference made more sense geographically.

Time to change the name to the ICAA.

Should be interesting when the Clan heads to play in SEC country.

Yeah - or NCANA

hey, the more the merrier. If Nicaragua ever fields a team, I'm sure Bielema and half the SEC will try to schedule them.
