CFL returning to Ottawa
Courtesy TSN.ca:
A league source said Monday the CFL will award the Canadian capital a conditional expansion franchise during a news conference at Lansdowne Park on Tuesday.
CFL commissioner Mark Cohon will be in attendance to make the formal announcement. Although there is no specific timeline in place for the franchise to begin operation, it could be up and running as early as 2010.
Cohon was unavailable for comment Monday as the CFL office was closed. However, the league issued an advisory Monday afternoon stating Cohon and members of the Ottawa ownership group would be present for a league announcement Tuesday regarding the Ottawa franchise.
