Bah they shouldn't move the Bombers until Ottawa has proven they can actually support a team. What happens if they fold again? Bombers flop divisions again? nonsense. Sounds like the CFL wants an easi

Not happy about this to be honest. I understand the older generation grew up on the Western rivalries, but the current generation has enjoyed the ones in the east. We should be staying in the east IMO. Oh well.

 

Thoughts?

To me it's not a huge deal.  The most important thing for me is the labor day classic and the banjo bowl, so as long as those are untouched I don't see any big issues.  And both of those are a cash cow for the two teams so I don't see them splitting that up as far as rivalries go.

Delete this one. I totally won the race...

 

You got 2 penalty minutes tacked on for a typo in the title. 

 

That's fair.

 

We better get our crap together now that we'll be competing for playoff spots with good teams.

Last time the cash was supposedly to cover costs for flights/hotel that were already booked, because it was after the schedule was already out, correct?

 

Think the league comes out with another reason to shoot us some bucks? Precedent set with Hamilton and Toronto getting no strings attached league money recently.

They got money because they suck and needed it.  We're not in that boat because we have fans.

Personally, I'd like to do away with the East/West and have a single division where the top 6 teams make the playoffs.

Will be no need for divisions when there is 10 teams in the league. Hopefully one day it will happen.

 

doesn't it make more sense to have divisions when the team is larger?

 

also, I'm trying to think back to when Ottawa was in the league last time, was there a  lot of byes with the odd number of teams?

With 10 teams you would have 2 games against every team to get your 18 games. So no need to have a division.

Byes and really weird short weeks.

Three games vs Regina per year... What do we call the third game?

That is why they have not eliminated the bye week when there was an even number of teams, in anticipation of the rotating byes required to facilitate scheduling for 9 teams next year.

Most efficient thing in my opinion is every team gets two bye weeks. With one team per week getting a bye? Does this work with 18 games?

Well, that and it's pretty grueling to go through an 18 game schedule without a week off.
