Two league sources said Thursday that Prince has contacted the search committee mandated with finding commissioner Mark Cohons successor.CFL spokesman Jamie Dykstra wouldnt confirm either Princes interest or Tom Anselmis candidacy for the commissioners job. There have been reports that Anselmi, the former Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment boss, has been approached about the position.Jim Lawson, the chairman of the CFL board of governors, has stated on the record that we have excellent candidates and the search for the next commissioner is going well, Dykstra said in an email. Out of respect for the process, the selection committee has agreed to not comment on who those candidates may or may not be.Cohons final day as commissioner is Jan. 9, with Lawson scheduled to take over on an interim basis until a replacement is hired. Lawson also heads up the search committee and said last month during Grey Cup week in Vancouver he was hopeful Cohons successor would be in place by April.In August, Cohon announced he wouldnt seek a contract extension to remain on the job after his current deal ended in April 2015.

After leaving the CFL, Prince served as an adviser to the league before starting his own consulting firm in 2004.Prince is currently the principal of The Prince Companies, which provides consulting services in the sports and entertainment industries.
