From what I've gathered, they are selling the rights to name the game, not the trophy. So it would be "The Labatt's Grey Cup on CBC", or something like that. I'd be all for this, if it helped out the league. $10 mil is a lot of money for our small league, and I want to see the CFL thrive. I don't think they'd ever change the name of The Grey Cup itself, would they?
I would love to see a CFL video game for my PS2. I know my interest in the NFL only began after playing Madden football. Imagine what a CFL game could do, as far as bringing young fans on board.
I'm also looking forward to the CFL expansion. Another team out east would make this a truly Canadian league, and a 10 team format would work so much better for scheduling. I hope the CFL can grow to the point where it could support 12 teams, eventually. Tom Wright seems to be a man with a vision and I think he's going to do great things for the CFL.
