The Northern Football Series (a.k.a. Northern 8) was a proposed sub-conference and competition for Canadian university football teams which was submitted to all Canadian university football schools on January 5, 2015.〔February 2015 - Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, copy of Northern Football Series business proposal -http://www.thestarphoenix.com/pdf/athletic_directors_package.pdf〕 It would potentially involve the top two teams from the CWUAA, which covers Western Canada, four teams from the Ontario University Athletics (OUA), and the top two teams from the Quebec Student Sports Network (RSEQ). A team from Atlantic University Sport (AUS) could qualify in the second year of operation. The series would have been managed as a football-only conference by Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) which would provide direct oversight. == Business Model == The Northern Football Series was a creation of Saskatoon-based businessman L. David Dube and Vancouver-based broadcaster Jim Mullin. The objective was to create a televised game of the week for Canadian college football to expand and grow the game in Canada. The proposed model was a non-profit business with Dube investing the full-cost of television production and administrative functions. Participating schools would split the cost of air travel equally between participants.〔Dec. 17, 2014 - Le Journal de Quebec, Richard Boutin (French) "Un calendrier national a letude" - http://www.journaldequebec.com/2014/12/16/un-calendrier-national-a-letude〕〔Dec. 26, 2014 - Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, Kevin Mitchell - Dube wants interlocking sked - http://www.thestarphoenix.com/entertainment/Saskatoon+Dube+wants+interlocking+sked/10681013/story.html〕〔Dec. 27, 2014 - Yahoo Canada, Neate Sager - CIS Football has willing finacial backer for interlocking schedule - http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/eh-game/cis-football-has-willing-financial-backer-for-interlocking-schedule-172152948.html〕 The investors in the conference would have held 51 per cent of the vote on a board of directors, with the other four conferences possessing a vote proportional to the number of teams they have competing in CIS football. Any profits from the operation of the conference would have been redistributed to non-participating teams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Northern 8」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
