Dec 10, 2021 | 9:14 AM

HAMILTON — Commissioner Randy Ambrosie unveiled the CFL’s new partnership with Genius Sports in his first state-of-the-league address in two years.

Ambrosie told reporters the long-term partnership would accelerate league growth and broaden its reach in existing and new markets.

However, Ambrosie wouldn’t divulge specific details of the agreement.

Ambrosie also said the COVID-19 pandemic – which cost the CFL the 2020 season – has forced the league to revamp its business model, including the adoption of revenue sharing among the nine franchises.

Once again, though, Ambrosie didn’t shed any light on any specifics.

It’s a rematch of the 2019 final, which Winnipeg won 33-12.
