To be honest, I like the narrative of Forge being the league's so-called marquee franchise and Cavalry crapping on it for them. The league needs rivalries and supporters who are annoyed about stuff. Makes for engaged supporters.

The date the paperwork was signed is a red herring anyway. The CPL's creation was driven by the owner of the Tiger Cats and closely supported by the owner of the Blue Bombers. They flat out gave themselves every advantage in what is essentially a corrupt launch of the league.
