Canadian Interuniversity Sport also announced that the 2015 Mitchell bowl will be between the Quebec and Ontario conference champions, while Canada West will play the Maritimes in the Uteck Bowl.

Meanwhile, the University of Calgary announced Monday that coach Blake Nill has resigned after nine seasons with the Dinos.
