Kick at the Darkness

Collegiate sports in Canada are a mess. Here is the first idea on solving it.

Division I and Division II

No one expects that the Memorial of Newfoundland and the University of Alberta will compete on an equal footing. The NCAA has addressed this by creating divisions. We should do this to. No one in the NCAA thinks that Penn-State, Altoona will go up against Penn State. That only makes sense.

Here is my collegiate conferences for the new and improved CIS:
