Does money talk in CIS?

I was out for a jog on Saturday afternoon, and walked in the door huffing and puffing when the phone rang. "James," the voice said, "we won."

It was Jack Drover, athletic director at Mount Allison University, and I had been bugging him earlier in the week for a piece on why some struggling CIS teams simply can't win. To his credit, he answered every question and was more than generous with his time, and wasn't shy about addressing his school's less than stellar record recently in CIS football.

As part of the piece, I put together some of the recent histories of a few of the programs that have really had a hard time putting wins together, including the University of Toronto, who are 2-74 in the past 10 years.
