Are you sure? I find that very surprising.

The average CFL salary is slightly below $60,000 a year. Based on last season's salary survey, 22 players were paid less than $42,000, according to the CFLPA . . . minimum salary of $41,000 last season
Take out QB/star salaries, and the average must be much less. Most of these young men have university degrees, and can make more than this in the real world, without risk of injury.
