According to TSN’s Dave Naylor, his sources are telling him the federal government has offered to help the Canadian Football League ahead of a potential 2020 season.

But it would be in the form of a short-term loan with high interest rates and fees.

Naylor said people in the league believe it would put them in a worse spot going forward.

Friday is the self-imposed CFL deadline day for a decision on a 2020 season but Naylor is also reporting no decision is expected today.
