Yes, it could happen in a few years...

NCAA considers canadian schools at least in Div II to begin with..

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The possibility of joining the NCAA for the first time has Canadian colleges looking south of the border with mixed emotions.



Schools such as the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University see the full scholarships that would come with NCAA membership as a boon to Canadian residents who currently come to the U.S. to pursue their athletic dreams.



Other schools and officials in Canadian Interuniversity Sport, the country's governing body for athletics, see a ploy for publicity that will end up with the schools being unable to compete financially and returning to their roots.



The process of finding out who's right will likely begin in January, when Division II is expected to approve a 10-year pilot program that would allow a limited number of international schools -- most expected to be Canadian -- to become NCAA members.

very interesting actually. they used to come play EWU from time to time. we'd kick the crap out of them and send them on their way. Evidence (http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_iaa/bigsky/eastern_washington/opponents_records.php?teamid=2981)

So I take it the Canadian teams play by American rules and not something similar to the rules used in the CFL?

I think Simon Fraser is part of the NAIA (Region I) already insofar as women's/men's/soccer & track & field. But still affiliated with the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) when it comes to football, men's/women's basketball though, if not mistaken. I think it has over a 24,000 students, the last I have heard.

Took the NC in NAIA in women's soccer in 1996 & 2000, runnerups in 1997 & 1998.

Great.

Then we can debate if the Canadian D-II schools are better than the American D-I Non-scholarships.
