Football: Coppens' death treated as suspicious

Calgary defensive back recruit Rhys Coppens' death is a news story more than a sports story, and we'll treat it as such:

"Yes he was a great athlete but he was more than that. For these kids he was a great teammate. They're very saddened to hear what happened ... But this isn't about football. This is about a family who has lost a son, and our condolences go out to them." — Blake Nill, Calgary coach
