To be honest, the TSN deal was very likely contingent on there being a Toronto team. IMO, the league would have pulled 500k from each team to cover any losses the Argos incurred as the league itself ran them. The owners would not object to it, because the reality is with no Toronto team, each team would likely lose a lot more than 500k a year from the re-jigged TV deal. I call total BS on the theory that Braley saved them. What did the league give him over his ownership period? 4 Grey Cups between Toronto and B.C?
