However, this creates an opportunity / opening that didn't exist yesterday. The $300K advance payout to Kelly is an SMS issue and I have no idea if Rourke is remotely interested at the moment. Lots of questions including will Kelly be banned from playing at a later date and his CFL career over? Will the league negate his contract and relieve the Argos of the SMS hit from the advance? Expand There's no way the league is going to give a break on any sms punishment to a team they're investigating. That would be an absolutely horrible look. wbbfan, Tracker and Stickem 2 1

They say they are going be talking to the club about their role in this but if the investigation showed that Kelly clearly violated the policies, I don't see how there won't be punishment coming for the Argo's front office as well.

Stickem Posted May 7, 2024 Report Posted May 7, 2024 Here's a possible scenario......B.C. signs Rourke.....leo's cut VAJ and he ends up signing an Argo friendly deal as their NO 1....The way things go down in the league sometimes, I see it as a possiblity Tracker 1

Expand This is a great point. If the argos are any bit as guilty as it’s been made out they should immediately be punished and not get support. That said I don’t think the league will punish the argos in a way that hurts their on the field quality. rebusrankin, Piggy 1 and Tracker 1 2
IC Khari Posted May 7, 2024 Report Posted May 7, 2024 So glad the league did the right thing (the wait didn’t look good, but in light of the independent investigation into the matter it’s understandable).

JuranBoldenRules Posted May 7, 2024 Report Posted May 7, 2024 Here's something stupid: So the CFL has a Canadian QB internship program. And U Sports runs the East-West bowl, which is a huge scouting event for the CFL. And of course they run the East-West bowl on the first weekend of CFL training camps. So....a bunch of the Canadian QB's in the program are not in the CFL camps getting reps. And CFL GM's have to choose to be at their own camp or at the East-West. WHY? JCon, Rich and Bigblue204 2 1
