biggest sport at the university and is by far one of the most competitive in the OUA. The football team has a nine-week schedule which starts in early September to the last week of October, Followed by the OUA playoffs which run within the first two weeks of November. Unlike other sports, the OUA only has 10 schools which compete in the OUA football so there is only one division. Since there is only one league, each team competes for Yates Cup, while the champion of the Yates Cup do get the honors to compete for the CIS Vanier Cup, Both of which will earn each school a championship in the respected divisions and will earn each school a banner for their stadiums. In the 2010-2011, the OUA will only have nine teams playing due to the suspension of the Waterloo Warriors and the case of substance abuse. This has shortened the schedule for nine regular games during the season. The team usually has 60 to 80 varsity athletes however, not all will have the opportunity to play for the team. The recruitment process is very similar to other major sports at the University of Guelph. Players are generally hand-picked by coaches and scouts while they play for their respective high school teams. However, for players that try to receive a walk-on role to the team, they must fill out applications and submit highlight reels which then will be reviewed by the coaching staff. Men's baseball Established in 1998, the baseball team is not one of the school's most highlighted sports. Although the team does produce a varsity team, it does not receive the same recognition as the football, or even basketball teams. Much like football, the team has an early season starting from the first week of September for a month straight until October. Since it is a short schedule of 18 games and only one month for play, the league often schedules two games per day. Baseball in Ontario is quite small and currently only seven universities compete, with only four games to determine the playoffs and championship. However, unlike many varsity sports the baseball team does not compete in the CIS. The team does however, try to compete for the CIBA (Canadian Intercollegiate Baseball Association). Men's volleyball The men's volleyball team at the University of Guelph had its first year of in the OUA in 1979. The
