At least 10 former Terry Fox students are devastated by the cancellation of SFU's football program, says Brad West, who wrote a letter to SFU's president asking for a reconsideration or a temporary reprieve.
Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West is calling on the Burnaby university to reconsider cancelling the program — or to let it continue temporarily — after hearing from as many as 10 players who were formerly high school players on the Terry Fox Ravens football team.
West goes on to say that the timing of the decision was just prior to exams, adding "insult to injury" and causing a "great deal of distress."

The filing alleges the school broke a contract with the players by scrapping the football program permanently.
