BC was $350k over and forfeits high draft picks which somehow benefits Calgary...?

OK.

Argos were fined for being $87,103 over.

EDIT: Ottawa and Saskatchewan were the other two.

With the consequences being a dollar for dollar fine, I don't really care if the Argos go over the cap by a little bit.

I doubt that MLSE minds paying such a small (for them) fine.

I wonder if Chad Kelly's salary while suspended counted towards the cap. By rights it shouldn't but I'm not aware of the CFL cap rules.
