Rick Worman is already scouting players for the conditional Ottawa expansion franchise which is nice to see: http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Ottawa/2012/05/01/19700411.html

the Ottawa CFL team will be allowed to participate in next year's Canadian college draft -- but will only be able to select fourth-year Canadians who have been redshirted and who have used up only three years of eligibility. Ottawa will pick ninth in the college draft, then last in each round. Some CFL teams shy away from these players until the later rounds because usually the kids stay in school for another year.Good job by the CFL to give Ottawa a head-start in building a base of Canadian talent.

Some insightful comments by Worman in that article.
