Expansion is a real hurdle in this country.
CEBL is at 10 teams with a summer league relying on out of season players and ready-to-go facilities all across the country empty during the season. CFL has been at 8-9 teams for decades. NSL just started and is at 6 teams. Every other pro league relies on having clubs in the US.
I think the league has to strike a balance between not having expansion be so daunting that it turns off investors, while making sure the ownership groups are committed to doing it right and not how Edmonton, Valour or Vancouver are doing it.
