They produce something that is probably 75% of the NFL entertainment product's quality (I'd say more than that) at maybe 3% of the cost. There is a lot of possibility there.

How are CFL costs low?
Insurance, travel, medical are not cheap. CFL only gets deals because of the CBA to be drank which could change at any barging opportunity. If and when players start to become more sophisticated and bargain for pensions and extended health coverage then the CFL will start to sweat.
CFL gets the obvious discount on players salaries. CFL also saves money as players only put in half the time NFL players do and if they are not in the clock they are not your expense.
I would never call a professional football league with grown men a cheap operation.
