Ramsay says CFLPA's focus is exhausting all options for safe 2020 CFL campaign. MORE:
CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie told season-ticket holders during a video conference Wednesday the earliest the league could start the 2020 season was September. But Ambrosie also stated a cancelled '20 campaign remains a possibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CFL and CFLPA have resumed talks on potential contingency plans for the 2020 season. However, the harsh reality is only two options remain: Playing an '20 abbreviated campaign, or none at all. The CFL has approached the federal government for financial assistance. It's three-phase proposal includes $30 million immediately, more monies if there's an abbreviated season and up to an additional $120 million in the event of a cancelled campaign.
"That doesn't mean it's not a viable option," he added."It just means there's a lot of moving parts."
