Yeah, the CFL wouldn't really work with just TV, the expenses would eclipse the expenses of each teams share of the TV deal. Especially if the players were paid full bank.

I think the CFL deal is 50 million a year, or about 5.5 million per year. Out of that the CFL salary cap is 5.7 million. By the time you add all of the other costs, its not worth running the league without fans in the stands and you'd get serious pushback from the owners if it was tried.
