Some who? passionate CFL fans on forums? I'm sure they all know exactly how the business of the CFL and broadcasting works.
If the league felt the way that delusional fans do, they would A) not have signed the deal, and B) put up the "out of business sign on the front door of the head office.
It's us vs the rest of the country
Stop with the source nonsense!
Look at the crazy contract of $3.5B Sportsnet overpaid to the NHL, while the CFL being the second highest rated TV viewership received only $40M annually.
Everything that came out after the fact indicates the league did a poor job of bringing other suitors to the table and therefore not creating a bidding war.
Announcing in advance before the deal that you want to remain with TSN was a further blow and no doubt caused a low ball proposal.
The CFL really should have accepted Chinese state television's offer of a billion dollars (source: my imagination).
Fools!
This is an endless tape loop. Now can we please go back to arguing about whether or not the Argos should keep Zach and let Ricky go? Or whether the Argos were stupid to release Arland Bruce?
