Group makes ‘very credible’ pitch for Halifax CFL franchise

[argolio]

Personally, I don't have much interest in the largely symbolic achievement of adding an Atlantic team. Even a healthy new franchise would drive up travel costs for everyone else, and obviously the league has some financial issues. I'd hold out for a sweetheart deal that doesn't involve substantial public money...

So you'd hold out for a pipe dream. Great plan.

If this expansion happens, I'd keep the divisions and go to an unbalanced schedule -- ten games within the division and eight against the West. Under this format, West teams would come to Toronto every four years out of five, and one division foe would come here twice every season. There's your saved travel costs. You could also stress regional rivalries by having Edm-Cgy, Ssk-Wpg, Tor-Ham and Mtl-Ott play each other three times every year. More division games would also greatly decrease the chance of a crossover.

Precisely. There's no need for expansion, so it shouldn't happen unless the situation is ideal.
