It's a chicken and egg thing because the CFL needs every penny of revenue they can get so shortening games by 30 minutes probably robs TSN of valuable commercial revenue (even if it is the same four commercials over and over and over) and would be reflected on how much they would pay the CFL for the televising rights. I can argue the officiating could be cleaned up as there are far too many times the officials have to huddle up to get calls right or even figure out why a flag was thrown in the first place as well as the blown calls that call for automatic replay in the final three minutes of every half.
