I mean, our CFL teams don't draw as big a crowd as college ball in the States lol.

Huge Understatement!!!
For example if the Hockey team (mens or women), or the Football team (it might help if they'd won a game in the last 6 years) had more than say 200 random students - not family or friends, alumni, or opposing fans - show to a game, even play-offs it'd be a big thing, heck a huge thing!!!
This from a school of 60000+
Of course there are some exceptions like University Western Ontario or Queens... but they are a huge exception.
