    Great news for the Argos, but this could be bad for the CFL.
    How will the league tolerate having one team with owners with really deep pockets compared to the rest.
    Just because Ottawa and Sask are doing well now, there was a time when both were not. Hamilton, Montreal same thing and BC is playing in front of friends and family.

    For the team, I imagine an expansion of the Kia training ground will occur, to give the argos a permanent structure, rather than the don Bosco idea.

    The issue with BMO is it will have to be expanded for the world cup. Until then I don't think we will see much of a difference in our in stadium experience.

    On a sad note a lot of people may have just lost their jobs, if the argos are fully combining with the mlse empire,

    The fact that the league has a REAL salary cap makes wealth of the owners irrelevant other than to provide stability. It's not like they can do as they do with their soccer club and spend 25% more on salaries than the 2nd highest payroll in the league, and 100+% more compare to the majority of the league.
    It's us vs the rest of the country
