In Saturday’s best-selling edition of the Regina Leader-Post, it was written that the CFL’s new football-operations salary cap is a great idea.

Several valued readers responded with their view that the column was a horrible idea.

However, the volume (and, in select cases, venom) of the feedback certainly conveyed the impression that the topic is of the hot-button variety.

Hence the compulsion to weigh in yet again, concentrating on another oft-overlooked aspect of the “to cap or not to cap?” debate.

On Saturday, the point was made that the newly imposed salary ceiling was a sound move in light of circumstances that have, at times, imperilled the league’s viability.

The CFL will never be home free financially, so it is eminently reasonable to install some checks on actual or anticipated excesses.
