The CPL's format seems a lot like the Central Scouting Bureau in the NHL. But every team does its own scouting too.
As long as teams are free to do their own scouting, and there’s no forced requirements to only sign these players, I like this.

One day (hopefully soon), the average CanPL team will have CFL level revenues, and the need for a central scouting will diminish. For now, I’d rather see the teams save money on this over the next few years, and have more money to raise the salary cap to a point where teams can afford to have some players making 6 digits.
