My Canadian Football League expansion proposal

 

EASTERN CONFERENCE: Atlantic Schooners, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes, Quebec Cavaliers, Ottawa RedBlacks, Toronto Argonauts

WESTERN CONFERENCE: BC Lions, Calgary Stampeders, Edmonton Elks, Saskatchewan Roughriders, Saskatoon Stags, Winnipeg Blue Bombers

https://xflnewsroom.com/news/some-think-that-the-toronto-argonauts-could-jump-to-the-xfl-in-2023/

If Toronto were to drop out of the CFL and join the XFL could it be possible the CFL looks to the USA once again to save them from going under? Would multiple teams in current markets be a consideration as well?  Dropping down to 14 games this year probably helped them not be too beaten up when the playoffs started this year but if they go back to 18 games I think they'll want more teams in the league.

My concept to the AFL 2, the national second tier to the Australian Football League. The four best teams would be promoted to the AFL while the last four teams would be relegated to the AFL 3, the national third tier of the Australian Football League system. It's Australian rules football time!.

Clarence Kangaroos

East Perth Royals

Fitzroy Vipers

Labrador Beacons

Lauderdale Raptors

North Adelaide Angels

Northern Territory Thunder

Port Melbourne Vultures

South Adelaide Panthers

What exactly is the point of swapping Dallas and Atlanta? If you're merely going geographical, Carolina is closer to the other East teams than Atlanta is.

In this scenario the Cowboys lobbied hard to stay in the East in which they succeeded so the Boys stayed in the East and the Panthers stayed in the South

 

Are the Chargers in the North?
