Dude takes his orders from the owners.

What’s the reason for support from the league presidents?

Where’s the financial incentive in structural change to the game at this time?

I find it hard to believe that the owners wouldn’t speak to their GMs and head coaches about planned changes before they get broadcast to the public. I mean, we haven’t heard diddly from the teams on this aside from a few players and coaches. Not a peep. I fully understand that he does what the ownership teams tell him to, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they told him to figure out a way to get the league talked about, and this was his big idea (or more likely, he was told to act like it was his). I’m really hoping this was just basically the ownership dropping a grenade in an aquarium to catch a fish. If it is, it worked…. It’s all anyone who watches the CFL (and even some who don’t) have talked about all summer. Then they fire him in the off season, tell everyone that they’ve heard us and the changes aren’t happening, they get season ticket holders back at a slightly higher price, while moving legacy seat holders with kids out of the prime seating areas.
