That's what I am trying to get across. How much simpler would things be if the league (instead of throwing things against the wall hoping they'll stick ie CFL 2.0, XFL) concentrated on each team selling 24k tickets. If every team could sell 24k tickets (capacity for the smallest stadiums) a whole lot of problems would be solved. Unless someone can tell me otherwise, MLSE has done even worse than Braley (considering their vast resources) and treats the Argos with willful neglect.

Unless they are a total moron, no one buys into the CFL to make money. It can be done and should be striven for but it shouldn't be the main motivation for owning a team. The league really has to better position itself into that niche of pro leagues: Nippon baseball, KHL, Serie A etc that are not seen as the very best but are still highly regarded instead of being an afterthought that may perish any day.

So instead of valuation, why can't this brilliant sports conglomeration figure out how to sell 24k tickets in a market of 3? million people. Then you might not be losing money, or is that the actual intent?
