Incompetent league management hasn't helped the cause but the league has tried and simply can't get enough younger fans to embrace the league. The TSN deal is the only thing really keeping the league a float and if they pulled out it would be over just like that.

Yeah. The CFL exploring options with the XFL whatever it may be is a wise choice since they need to adapt to survive. They aren't drawing in new fans since the young demographic in this country are generally NFL fans first and only. The CFL is not relevant to them.
Even if this leads to the CFL changing it's game to become more American; becoming even moreso a developmental league for the NFL, it's a better option than ceasing to exist coming 2030.
