As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to alter the sports world, Canadian football players across NCAA are being impacted in different ways. Weesesports spoke to five of those players, including some whose football dream has been temporarily put on hold.

Less than a week later, the season was postponed.

While Stevens understands the Big Ten’s decision, he feels that not playing in front of 75,000 people at Spartan Stadium, including the rivalry game against the Michigan Wolverines, is unfortunate. “There are mixed feelings because I’ve been playing football since I was five years old,” LeBeau said. “The decision was out of our hands and based on safety and health, which I understand. But it’s hard not being able to play because of an outside force, not because it’s your choice.”

“You can work out all you want, lift all the weights and be the strongest, fastest guy in the world, but if you don’t have the tape of playing football that scouts look at, you aren’t going anywhere,” Brown said. “Tape for any athlete, it’s their resume. Even if your resume is good or bad, the tape this year could change someone’s life forever.”

“All the Power 5 [conferences] should have made the same decision,” Bergeron said. “I feel like two conferences down, three playing, some players are going to have more advantages for NFL coaches and scouts compared to others.”

The U.S. media reviews are in for the Toronto Raptors' Game 5 performance, and the consensus is far from optimistic. Said it after 0-2 to the Bucks last year too. They may not win, but they certainly weren’t done after 0-2....hence tying it up 2-2.
