October 8, 20186 yr comment_360431 I don't know if BLM would stay. He might go elsewhere but it'd take $700,000 -$800,000 or more to do it. If the salary cap goes up significantly with the new collective agreement then why not?

At least a third of the league is hemorrhaging money at the current level of compensation.
October 8, 20186 yr comment_360436 That should be roughing the passer. Spear with a little extra on the ground. See if the Command Centre has the guts.

October 8, 20186 yr comment_360439 He hit Reilly high & should be called. But it's the Riders so of course they get the call that favours them.
October 8, 20186 yr comment_360441 Get rid of the reviews. If they can't make that call they aren't worth having.

You could say the same about operating teams in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. Upward pressure on salaries is going to result in the prairie teams signing the paycheques of the whole league again and put the whole thing in peril.
October 8, 20186 yr comment_360445 Evans probably gets fined for that hit if the Eskimos don't challenge it.
October 8, 20186 yr comment_360446 Mike Reilly Vs. the world is looking like it will be cancelled for next season.

CFL teams lose out on revenues with high ticket prices on game day tickets. They could sell these empty seats in every stadium for half the cost but teams refuse to do so. So, thousands of empty seats are never occupied & teams get zero revenues for them plus lose money on concessions & merchandising. In Calgary here 10-13,000 seats are always empty. Edmonton has 22,000 seats that are never used. I think they could solve a lot of problems by lowering prices. Edited October 8, 20186 yr by SpeedFlex27
October 8, 20186 yr comment_360449 That should have been a flag, dirty hit but hey the CFL has to pump the Riders because apparently a province of just over 1 million people drives a league in a nation of 36 million.

Teams seem to have budgeted more for TV money than ticket sales. I know it sounds ridiculous but why else would teams sell individual game tickets on the 30 yard line at McMahon for $80? People can stay home & watch on tv & they do. Ticket prices across the CFL have effectively eliminated the game day walk up crowd. Teams like Winnipeg & Calgary used to count on an extra 8-10,000 in ticket sales on game days but no more. Edited October 8, 20186 yr by SpeedFlex27
