A CFL press release today outlined a plan approved by the board of governors to give the Ottawa franchise "the opportunity to compete" when the city enters the league for the third time (recall the Renegades, pictured left), hopefully in 2013.

Ottawa allowed to select a total of eight imports, 16 non-imports, including two quarterbacks, from the existing eight teams 3. Expansion draft will last three rounds -- one for imports, and two for non-imports. 4. Ottawa also gets to take part in the 2012 and 2013 Canadian college draft.
