I read a “suggestion” in one of Steve Simmons’ Toronto Sun column about this.
Also asked in one of those CFL surveys.
How important is it to retain the existing East and West divisions?
What about a single division loop of eight teams? (Nine next year with Ottawa).
I am struggling with this. Could go either way. Like the East-West Grey Cup although we’ve seen all-west Cups with Winnipeg in the East and all-east Cups way back in the early days.
Well, good ol' Steve Simmons, hmmm, a Toronto reporter I'm thinking. Of course he doesn't want two divisions, I'm just surprised he doesn't want one division called Toronto as Toronto stands for all of Canada, and calls the CFL the TFL.
But this is a tough one in all honesty and really no right or wrong way to look at this. Personally for me, keep the two divisions for tradition sake but it really doesn't matter that much to me, I think in people's minds, it will always be an east-west thing regardless of how the league is structured.
