For the most part big changes like this would usually be investigated by using them in preseason or taking ideas from other leagues/lower levels that are proven to some extent. MLB rule changes spent years being refined in minor league baseball.
Think the NFL kickoff rules that were basically lifted from the XFL/UFL.
Stew Johnston is basically Frankenstein in this scenario. They gave data on what they think will happen to scoring as a result based on absolutely nothing. They have no idea what the fan tolerance will be. And the fans have no idea what it will even really look like until the games start.

They have to do both. Something quick to get more revenue hopefully....and copy the bombers approach.
Fun fact....Bombers hosted the 2nd coaching clinic in as many months for free. First was flag football. Today's was tackle. Head coach of the University of Guelph was here along with u of m coaches. All hosting sessions that went over various aspects of the game and best approaches to coaching. It included 2 meals. Met Coach Hull when I got lost in the basement if the Pas looking for the bathroom. Nice guy.

the idea would be higher scoring, more dynamic offensive based games at a faster pace.
No actual proof, other than how it’s worked for mlb, and that what the league has done over the past two-three decades has only eroded the success and fan base league wide.
I’m trying to look at it from a none hard core fan perspective and wondering if the potential is there.

This is one of the best feelgood stories I have heard in quite a while, and boy, am i gonna root for him to not only make the team but become a star.

Some roster moves and a minor front office shuffle:
Added to roster:
National defensive lineman Carter Hooper (6-5, 265, South Dakota)
National linebacker Charles-Elliot Bouliane – 2026 CFL Canadian Draft selection
National receiver Joshua Jack – 2026 CFL Canadian Draft selection
National linebacker Brody Clark – 2026 CFL Canadian Draft selection
National tight end Dante Daniels – 2026 CFL Canadian Draft selection
Transferred to Retired:
American running back J.J. Taylor
American offensive lineman Ben Dooley
The club also announces title changes in the team’s personnel department, with Jim Jauch moving to Assistant General Manager, and Danny McManus shifting to Senior Assistant General Manager. Both individuals play crucial roles in scouting for the organization.

Imagine taking this approach in an office job.
Hey outside of work I'm the nicest guy you'll ever meet but put me on the office floor and I'm a dickhead, completely different person. lol

Just tried... now I have a meeting with HR! Do not recommend.

Another great piece from Tait, on Dante Daniels. Hard not to root for a guy like this & it sounds like he'll bring some of the attitude we've been missing.
“My coach always says, ‘You’re one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met, but you’re a dickhead on the field,”” Daniels laughed. “On the field, I’m a completely different person."

This change is purely a money grab from the people who come to games now. It's a bit about the future, put mainly about the now.

as a former player...I have never seen or know of a player playing to not win...and the ones who loafed cause a game apparently meant nothing, or half arsed it didnt hang around long.
nobody likes to lose even of it's a meaningless game....or even pre-season, as for attendance....season ticket sales are what they are and 1st game...last game...its the same net revenue...as for walk ups....more fan friendly weather for the last few games of the yr, may actually have more people in the stands...as it is and has been...a lot of late season games that had meaning in a lot of places were not attended as well, soley based on weather....And to have the Grey Cup earlier and more than likely avoiding for most part sub -15 or worse temps....who's opposed to that?

I'm sorry but we're going to have to let you go.

Me reading this

So post-draft, our remaining needs break down as follows;
Wr. We have 23 dbs and 16 wrs. For sure, need a couple more imp WRs for camp.
DE. 18 ol vs 13 DL. Specifically, 2-ish Nts and another pass rusher or two.
A backup LS and another KR or two are really needed for camp and insurance for Vaval.
If we are going into the TE market, we need to work someone like Schmekel into that backup some, and bring in at least 1 more guy for camp reps.
Otherwise, the depth is in a really good spot going into camp.
