My ideal schedule:
1 Friday Night game: Let the NFL have Thursdays, football is a weekend sport.
1-2 Saturday games: However, games should be done before the regular HNIC double header. CFL generally gets creamed by HNIC, as do most other sports.
1-2 Sunday games: CFL does better ratings wise vs NFL than the NHL HNIC. Plus, Sunday was not a designated day for NFL, previously, it was the designated day for Football watching.
Of course Long weekends can push a few games into Mondays.
CFL schedule today, is clearly influenced heavily by TSN. I realize as long as TSN does not have NHL, they are completely dependent on other sports, namely Football. Both the NFL and CFL give them good ratings, and Sunday puts their two best rating shows up against each other. Probably the Big dollar image of the NFL and the gambling attention it gets, puts it ahead of the CFL. Plus, Saturday nights leaves a huge gap needed to fill, so they plug the CFL in there. Problem is, is that they are throwing away ratings for CFL programming.
