lazlo_80 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 One thing that just hit me now. The windfall for ownership of the CPL on the world cup coming is absolutely massive. With all the owners in the CPL also being owners in C-SUM they were all literally just handed tens of millions of dollars today with the World Cup going to the United bid. That in and of itself should goose up interest from potential owners in this league. It was a big, big, big deal for this league that they won this thing. ted and CDNFootballer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my understanding (and I could be wrong) C-Sum will now handle all media rights for National team events. The rights of a world cup in Canada with the national team in the big tourney versus a world cup in morocco in a weird time zone without the Canadian team is a major difference. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So C-SUM would flip the TV rights to a local broadcaster?

If it functions like SUM and Traffic do, they sell the rights to broadcasters...and you'll get more aggressive bids from broadcasters if Canada is in the world cup and games will be on at prime time slots.

Tens of millions might be overstating things a bit given CSB would only be getting something along the lines of a 10% agent's fee, but it would still be substantial as long as the CMNT gets to be an automatic qualifier. Should happen in a 48 team format but I think that won't be confirmed for another two years. The other potential gold mine is what happens to the legacy fund left by World Cup profits. The USSF used the 1994 fund to help launch MLS. I suspect the CanPL owners will be anticipating similar generosity on the part of the CSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draft mechanism is essential to avoid the emergence of another dominant Vancouver 86ers that kills off interest in other cities by being too dominant.

I have been fine with the other names, but Founders really stands out as one im really unimpressed with. But as you say, of course no matter the name I will support - plus I am excited to introduce my son to the live game day experience too. Living in Grimsby, the commute to THF with a 4 year old means we will attend far more than we would have ever gone to TFC. marauder01, Keegan and gator 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Keep pounding the Founders name. I don't think it's set in stone (er steel rather). At some point though we really need to switch gears and quit complaining. Complain when your grandchildren have season tickets.

PJSweet Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) If you listen carefully to David Clanachan's recent interview with TSN 1150, he hints that 7 teams will be announced with ONE he's holding back, which means that the CPL will kick start with 8-teams. No mention of a 10-team league (I could be wrong). I'm thinking that one of those teams could either be Ottawa or Quebec City. This means that one of these cities may not part of the CPL until 2020. I could be wrong...Please listen to the interview again. Edited June 14, 2018 by PJSweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
