It's the only fair way to do it. Florida didn't want to play this weekend, even though the game could have been played on Sunday.

Now, Baton Rouge and LSU are looking at a $15,000,000 loss, not counting ticket sales and that is simply not fair.

Making LSU play 3 SEC road games in 12 days is equally unfair.

Florida can have the game, they simply can't have the money that goes with it.

Nope. Only acceptable scenario in which we don't play all 12 games is if UF forfeits.

fricking stop, please.

The alternatives have been beaten to death. Every viable option has been presented here, and I am sure to Joe Alleva, as well as Sankey, and maybe even Foley. Move on. We play USM Saturday, maybe start seeing about that game.

That's not a great solution.

LSU is still getting screwed royaly for UFs mess.

I seriously doubt the businesses of the city of Gainesville would just hand over their money. LOL

The best solution I have seen is the moving ark game to our bye week, play Florida the week of south Alabama, and play south Alabama the week of the ark game

the better one is Florida to go to Georgia on Oct 22, then play LSU in Jacksonville on Oct 29.....

that minimizes disruptions all across the board and puts the penalty of UForefit where it belongs

Why not just play 11/19 at Baton Rouge at night?

That covers most of LSU's issues (loss of revenue; multiple road trips with short turnaround) and we are whole from a financial standpoint as long as SEC pays back USA.

Florida would be the one who gives up a home game, which seems fair since they didn't really want to play that home game anyway.

Do you guys realize Florida already got payed through insurance by the SEC??? So now LSU should lose out and UF get even more money??? Don't think so
