What are hiding? They wouldn't open up books during CBA negotiations won't lay out the salary number of players.
In the end I think it only really hurts the players and fans don't get the enjoy the CFL. The owners were fine before and will be fine afterwards.

In this day and age a professional sports league that has zero transparency, full of owners all trying to out-cheat the others was always going to fall on very hard times. The league is fatally flawed as you simply can't operate a sports league like this anymore as everyone knows the owners are crooks. It may be best for the league to fold, be dismantled, and be resurrected with fresh faces as the old regime is simply out of touch.
