The decision comes less than two years after the opening of the $20 million SFU Stadium at Terry Fox Field
Two months after the NCAA Division II’s Lone Star Conference told Simon Fraser University to find somewhere else to play football in 2024, the university’s president announced the 1965-established program was over immediately.
“It's very difficult, the uncertainty is very difficult,” Hanson replied, while standing on a stage beside Wade Parkhouse, SFU’s vice-president, academic. “We’ve had this uncertainty since January. The decision to not play this year, we could not go another five months without saying anything. That’s not fair to you. The university made a very difficult decision and came to this conclusion and felt it was in the best interest to announce it now.
Jim Mullin, the president of Football Canada, said he was stunned by the announcement because there was no consultation with any of the stakeholders, be they players, coaches, alumni, the BC Lions, or football’s provincial or national governing bodies. Mullin said he does not buy the SFU line about “uncertainty” and believes it was really a cost-cutting measure. “This announcement was made a day-and-a-half into the start of a new fiscal year.”
