Team's already travel so the budgets are already in place.
You wouldn't play anyone 4 times. Commissioners suggestion was to play divisional teams 3 times each, and 6 games in total vs the other division. The CFL thrived when the teams played their own division more often than the other. IMO, it makes a lot of sense to do it. Not to mention, more games within reasonable travel range for the visiting team, IMO would mean bigger crowds.
