The big problem is that you're right the money is coming from the Rock and his Ex, and if his idea is to eventually form some kind of partnership with the NFL its likely that the rule change is going to happen. The CFL needs to do something here, attendance has dropped, a whole season missed, They couldn't get help from the government. The suddeness of this makes me feel like the CFL reached out to the Rock for help.
I love 3 down football and the zany rules. The Canadian players helps me go to coach because it excites the kids that there's a chance even a small one of one day being able to play in front of their parents at a pro level.
I do expect that rule changes and ownership changes will be a big part of an XFL requirements for merging.
