    I doubt anybody involved in running the league in the past would have tried diligently to apply that community model to any of the struggling franchises over taking whatever buck$ they could gouge out of new sugar daddy - regardless if it was a clueless clown of a bizness man who should not be involved with the CFL and Canadian football. Simple & easy seems to be the main m.o. of the CFL BOGoofs a lot of the time.
    Winnipeg is very successful in the 2020s, ergo all Mtl-Ott-Ham-Tor-Sask-Cal-BC needed to do when they ran into trouble between 20 and 40 years ago was do what Wpg's doing now. How could no one have foreseen that?
