I would, if it meant no more Rod Black. Apparently we are losing Chris Cuthbert to hockey. Damn,

Rest of the league subsidizes their losses while they pay Jim Popp $600k a year... got it. I looked at that article and I couldn’t see how much over the cap they were. Did I miss that or was it not listed?

Mr Dee Posted June 14, 2020 Report Posted June 14, 2020 “The CFL franchise cost to operate is somewhere between $25 to $30 million per year, multiply that by nine it is about $250 million to fund each of the clubs on a yearly basis, that would be my estimate. So if you’re asking for $150 million, it’s a reasonable ask,” Smith said on CTV Ottawa.https://3downnation.com/2020/06/13/former-cfl-commissioner-larry-smith-150-million-its-a-reasonable-ask/ TBURGESS 1
SpeedFlex27 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Posted June 14, 2020 Can someone post the Bombers operating expenses as I'd really like to know if it's as high as Smith says...
DR. CFL Posted June 14, 2020 Report Posted June 14, 2020 1 hour ago, Mr Dee said: Perhaps the players input should be also factored in as they are major stakeholders as well.

Honestly I think they're waiting for another league, like the NHL to go first so they can take lessons from that. Gabriel, Bigblue204 and rebusrankin 3

Well you'd be a fool not to learn from other experiences, however I wonder if they aren't waiting too long to copy cat another league rather than working on their own strategy in the meantime. It's a time to be proactive and yes things are constantly changing, but you gotta have some kind of plan that gets updated regularly... That's what every other business and institution is doing right now.

They are probably waiting for some way to make Toronto work as a hub city... however Bombers did just call and say they are expecting a season starting in September Noeller 1

I think it has more to do with holding onto our money for as long as possible, which makes sense to me. I converted my credit into a Bomber Store gift card. Bigblue204 1
