And you can play travel expenses for tryouts but not pay the player.

Also if they weren't doing anything wrong, why did CFL officials go in and tell them to stop doing it last week.
Ok sure, but the league hasn't even said anything yet. We don't even know for sure what happened. Maybe the league just said ok that's enough, stop or we will close the loophole. Or maybe the Riders will face huge fines, lost picks and suspensions. I have no idea. But that's kinda my point. How is it possible that not a single reputable source and not a single league official has commented on this yet to provide clarity on what happened and what, if any, the consequences are? I've seen a single league comment. A single sentence. We are aware of the incident (or something similar). But it was hilariously short.

This whole 2 day unraveling has been filled with a ton of misinformation, hearsay and bad journalism and reporting. Everyone has just been tweeting the first rumour they hear with no back up.
