Because there's little competition in Canada in terms of sports broadcasting, the compensation just isn't there.
Once you get established in the US, you're golden, especially if you're on a national broadcast. Erin Andrews makes well over a million dollars. It definitely won't be long before Onrait and O'Toole are making six digits. It likely took a lot to pry them from Canada because they seemed really happy in their roles so, who knows. I'd love to be on a fly on the wall during those negotiations!
