Good luck on that. Basketball is a global sport that is known worldwide and the barrier to entry is one ball for a group of people and a court which most schools/parks already have. NBA is also well ingrained in younger people culture. I can't imagine how impossible of a challenge it would be to do so for the CFL.

U Sport will have to go along. The field changes won't be stopping for a collegiate league that contributes nothing monetarily to the upkeep of CFL stadiums they play in. They really have no say. As far as McGill goes, it was the Wettenhalls who owned the Als that refurbed the stadium they play in. I don't recall the university contributing a penny 20 years ago. Remember in 1996, there was a tree growing up thru the stands at McGill before the Als came back, the university did nothing to remove it. McGill allowed the stadium to fall into a sad state of disrepair. As far as the Argos go, I'm not quite sure of your point as the Argos don't play in a collegiate stadium. It's really a non factor as BMO is their home field. U Sports is going to have to figure it out. They will. My feelings always has been that all U Sport teams should have their own stadiums. As some don't & let someone else pay the bills they should be paying for stadium maintenamce then they have no say.

Who owns the stadium in Mcgill though? They aren't exactly hurting for money either. Toronto is already far below pro standards in their cis accomoditations, you think they are gonna bend over backwards to support the arogs? The OSU teams aren't gonna care about the west either. This is some pretty terrible cherry picking and dare I say, goal post moving?

I just keep thinking if Cal Murphy would have done that? he might have said we need a lot more work that needs to be done. Osh may have won 110 games but he's still no Cal Murphy.

In a nutshell:

Well, they played the perfect game last Saturday, so there’s really nothing to practice.

Are you surprised? We all live in Osh's world.

How many "good employers" are out there? Anyway, semantics. they didn't consult the players & that's not going to change.

As wbbfan noted, a good employer would consult stakeholders before major changes are made.

Yeah, yeah, good employers. Sure. Lol. If you're an employee in private industry then you're replaceable anytime. You have no say unless you're unionized. I was in past situations when company reorganizations took place especially as an adjuster. Management just changed things with no consultation as to the handling of claims. Everything from company policy to new technology. We had no say. And I'd say most employees would have still said that working at that company was a good experience even with changes we/ they didn't like.

U sport is going to have to adapt. Whp pays for the maintenance of the stadiums U Sport teams play in at McGill, manitoba, Regina, Calgary?? CFL teams do out of reven ue charged thru rent. All these teams mentioned in U Sport play for free in their stadiums because of the CFL. So, unless they want to build their own stadiums which maybe they should, U Sport teams will have to buck up.

A good employer would 100% consult with their employees, managers and stake holders before large changes to the identity, branding and product of said company. edit: Doesn't mean that the employer needs to heed all or any of the suggestions- it's just good business sense to consult those mentioned above.

Just askin' but if your boss at work decides to implement changes in the workplace does he talk to you or your co worker to ask permission? Nope, it just gets done. The CFL isn't a democracy.

Last time I looked, the CFL still had 7 mandated starters per game, 21 total Canadians on the roster, three downs, waggle, motion, one yard neutral zone, no fair catch, 12 men per side... Like WTF???

Parent was my favourite.

Why is Clrcius playing boundary WR? He's as slow as mollases. Big target. he should be a slot receiver. Wilson should be the deep threat outside in his place.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new field size...

Celebrity Jeopardy: Alex Trebek: Burt Reynolds you're up... Burt Reynolds: Ah, I'll take Ape **** for $200, Alex. Alex Trebek: It's not Ape ****. The category is A Petit Dejeuner... Burt Reynolds: Nah, it's Ape ****. Sure...

I think you're pretty close to the truth..Pinball looks like he's on board, and you can see why with all of the push in TO to cozy up to the nfl.... Change/changes are not easy for old fossils of the league like myself...Seeing those goal posts at the back of the endzone will look foreign for sure....Don't like the fact returns off of missed 3 pointers will be diminished and that takes away from the game ..The fact it's safer for the players is a positive and that's about it ....Will be awhile to see all of the changes put into a game, so I along with alot of others, will be a wait and see ....

Yep, and Usports. They should've tried to get a bunch of the Usports teams trialing this change before us if any thing.

100%. I wonder if Sterns goes in at Wheatfall's WR spot, or if he goes back to slot and Mitchell finally bumps out to the WR spot? If the fit with him is as bad as it seems with zach/hogan/the offence, maybe we put some one like Wilson at that premium spot. Wouldn't mind if Echols got the look and sterns got an extra week to recover and prep for return. Haven't heard about Clercius but that looked bad, so I'm guessing corcoran goes in and cobb comes on. Wish we'd shake up the DL.

Regardless of whether the changes become successful or not, NOT consulting the players and coaches is comically bad.

Hey don't insult us Single Wing Dudes - I was actually referred to as "the spinning back" on our H.S. team. And to boot the Iowa State Cyclones ran Single Wing until probably late 1960's. Then we all upgraded to the Wing-T and Double Wing-T formations (thanks to Forrest Evashevski (Univ of Iowa Head Coach).
