Work with the NFL to market it that successful CFL teams have higher priority for future NFL moves or expansion. I'm basing this on Baltimore; who supported their CFL team in an effort to show the NFL they were serious about football.
- Get the CFL and NFL working together more. Instead of just the NFL cuts we see in September, allow CFL teams to have up to 3 NFL tryouts on their team at the begining of summer. Have the NFL team pay the salary. It gives the CFL more talent with less money out, and gives the NFL team a chance to see their player in action prior to the pre-season starting.

Labor Laws in the States makes it impossible to make US based teams play any Canadians...period! The ONLY way that this league with US based teams could survive would be to remove the Canadian limits period. In other words...become a farm system to the NFL. No thanks.
