There is no direct CFL involvement in this.  Despite the fact there has been nothing announced directly by the CFL in any of their communication channels, if this was something they were involved in, you wouldn't have seen the announcement happen when it did.  They would have waited until after the draft.
Aside from that, this being a "league initiative" and "diverting league funds" couldn't be any further from the truth.  I don't even know where you got that idea from the 3 Down article you posted. This is a textbook example of how false rumours get started.

Nichols doesn't need to be elite, he needs to prove that he can maintain the efficiency that he displayed during our 7 game win streak over a full season. I don't think we want to ask him to produce more than that. 
Our D does need to take the next step though. We've remade the DLine again. They have to pressure opposing QBs and not let teams run up and down the field on us.

Nichols is NEVER going to be elite. At his best, he can be Kevin Glenn, and that's fine. You can win with that, with the right pieces around him. We're as close as we've ever been, but winning the cup takes as much luck as it does talent, so we'll need some breaks along the way...

4/9 first round in my mock, better than most years.
And for those scoring at home, Bomberbuzz (0/9) and BlueBomberTalk (1/9) didn't do so hot.
HIRE ME DREW EDWARDS

before the draft started, lol.

Drafted a retired OL, a TE who's a futures pick, a LB who is a futures pick, a likely developmental OL, they did sickeningly well?

I for one, welcome our True North overlords.

That's not the way it works.  He made a blatant error and I had to call him out on it. 

Lots of buzz about Penton maybe moving into a Lawless-ish role......

I don't think he'll be that hard to replace for NHL talk. It's CFL coverage that is going to take a massive hit.

That is a sad top 5 list.

Stadiums and arenas need big footprints that the cost to put them in central locations balloons the price. 
MTS centre lucked out because the land donation bought Thompson into True North. 
The land sale of the old location was part of the funding of the stadium that wouldn't have been there had they built at that location  
I have no idea the answer to this question but what was around the polo park area when the old stadium and arena were built?

It's completely unprofessional to fire anyone via text. Face to face is best, but if Foley can't make it to the club's offices, then over the phone would be OK.

I love football too.
I don't love getting home at 1:30 AM from the stadium when I work the next day.

I have hereby decided that this kid is *OUR* Brendon Labatte, only more talented......I'm not ready to call him New Walby yet, but, if they're SURE he's not NFL-Bound, take him....done and done.

He's a St. Vital kid, or so I read.
