Treliving Sr is a perfect Sports business mentor ,good idea for CFL players ,maybe this is just the beginning for the CFL with other ventures to increase revenue in a struggling League financially ….

Great news. If you ever feel the need to get up to speed on this issue, watch the 30 for 30 documentary “Broke”, its on YouTube. Stats show that 60% of NBA players are broke within 5 years of retirement and a whopping 78% of NFL are broke after only 2 years of retirement (NHL is just over 40%). As we all know, CFL players are not compensated nearly the same as these guys, but its realistic to assume that the stats are similar up here. Anything that the CFL can do to strengthen its relationship with the players on and off the field is ALWAYS a good thing.

um…why is this embarrassing? A company that provides financial services to athletes, who may not know that much about the topic, seems like a good partnership to me. Quite a few companies have gotten their starts on Dragon’s Den and if this one has taken off, it seems like a good fit. Treliving’s son Brad has a good background in pro sports, being as he is the Calgary Flames General Manager, so Treliving Sr. would appear to be a good fit. Why the negativity, Tom? NFL players get similar services. Why not CFL players?
