It's actually players as well. Montreal players basically said as much during Grey Cup week. All the other teams know what's going on. It's not a secret. I don't believe the league loves the team called the Saskatchewan Roughriders but I believe that as a business they know they have to cater to their most rabid fanbase and league popularity peaked when the Riders were doing well. The NBA has been doing this for a couple of decades now trying to ensure that it's biggest markets have as good a shot to make the finals as possible. At the end of the day it's still a business and the league has to do what's best for the league not necessarily what's best for the game.
