To trim costs CFL can trim the higher end player salaries for guys like Bo Levi from 800k a year to maybe 450k a year. CFL presidents should have lower salaries and CFL coaching staffs are way too big now you don't need 14 assistant coaches only need maybe 6-8. CFL head office to save money should have interdivisonal play only to save travel costs and maybe get rid of the Toronto instant replay staff and instant replay and constant coaches challenges and reviews as it slows the game so much and takes an element of controversy away from the game that it used to have when calls were done only by the refs on the field.

Yup, the CFL needs to make it cheap for a family to bring children to the game, market to the kids at a young age, and make the star players very accessible to the kids.
Another idea is to have bigger events pre-game, for example the CF-18 fly overs at calgary labour day... I know that it would be probably too expensive to do that sort of thing every week, but the league needs to turn these "games" into more of an "entertainment" outing
