, the only NCAA member in Canada.

The first round was broadcast live on TSN with CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon announcing the first selection. The production was hosted by Rod Black and featured the CFL on TSN panel which included Duane Forde, Chris Schultz, Paul LaPolice, Farhan Lalji, and Lee Barrette who analyzed the teams' needs and picks.[8] However, the broadcast was not without controversy as viewers initially needed to be subscribed to Bell Satellite TV or Rogers TV in order to view online. TSN later recognized the mistake and made the draft viewable to everyone online.[9]
