The naiveté of Mr. Cochrane's article is quite shocking for someone who is in a profession often defined by cynicism.
Of course a lot of teams make the junior playoffs. It's not just the revenue from the playoff games themselves, it's the revenue from far more teams being in the playoff races until the end.
Of course the CIS tournaments include host teams and wild cards. CIS sports as a whole are still a niche market and even the Final 8 in Halifax does better when their are two Nova Scotian teams involved. Wild cards make sense when there isn't balance between the various leagues in most sports.
Someone needs to give Mr. Cochrane a reality check.
