1)Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  LAFONTAINE CHIMES IN ON CIS FOOTBALL

In a recent interview with the Chronicle Heraldā€™s Chris Cochrane, CIS CEO Pierre Lafontaine talked about CIS football.Ā  One of the things discussed was trying to find ways to improving television coverage after the OUAā€™s deal with Sportsnet fell through this past August. One option being looked at is a ā€œNational Game of the Weekā€ as opposed to ā€œOUA Game of the Weekā€.Ā  Lafontaine recognized that TV coverage is important when it comes to CIS football.

Another discussion point was the question of whether the CIS has become a ā€œtwo tieredā€ system.Ā  Lafontaine offered that the CIS is considering hosting a football summit to look at this and several other issues all with the ultimate goal of making improvements.

ā€œWe need the TV there, we need the CFL there, we need Football Canada there, we need to look at the whole product in general,ā€ commented Lafontaine to Cochrane.
