A long tradition is then broken. The 70s and 80 Continuation of the activities of Alpine skiing and of badminton without institutional recognition of university End of the 80s Return of the teams of swimming (1985) and of volleyball (men in 1988 and women in 1989). The various teams know a lot of success at the beginning of 1990s while the University knows money troubles. 1994 the big blackout: The budgetary situation of the university does not allow to absorb the expenses of the program of the Carabins and the activities of the teams are suspended. 1995 Relaunching of the program of excellent sport via the physical educational department 1997 Victory in the referendum of the student federation FAECUM: The student Federation agrees to contribute to the financing of the sporting programs up to $100,000. a year. 1999 and 2000 Official membership of the teams of Alpine skiing and badminton.

The Carabins first began play in 1966 in the Ontario Intercollegiate Football Conference and continued play for the next six seasons. The program was dropped after the 1971 season due to a shift in philosophy as many francophone universities placed an emphasis on community involvement and intramural athletic activities as opposed to intercollegiate athletics. That philosophy has shifted back to intercollegiate sports as Université Laval, Montréal and Université de Sherbrooke each began programs in 1996, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
The current program has seen marked success in the regular season, having qualified for the playoffs in each of the past nine seasons, but has never gotten past the Dunsmore Cup, and has lost the semi-final five of those nine times.
