“In 35 years of existence, what has happened is unprecedented,” said RSEQ President and CEO Gustave Roel. It goes well beyond the trophy as such, it is an attack on the image, on the reputation of the image for several thousand young people who play football in Quebec, but also for the 220,000 student-athletes . You can’t miss the image and therefore the message is strong enough. It’s a first.”
Following the events in question, the Condors players publicly apologized and received college sanctions.
