LSU And Florida Will Play Nov. 19th In Baton Rouge
by TD Staff ReporterOctober 13, 2016

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Spor
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey announced Thursday afternoon that the LSU-Florida game has been rescheduled for November 19 in Tiger Stadium. Here is the official release from the Southeastern Conference:
quote:
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The LSU vs. Florida football game, postponed last Saturday due to Hurricane Matthew, has been rescheduled for Saturday, November 19, at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge under the terms of an agreement announced by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey.
In addition, the Presidents and Chancellors have established the expectation for existing Conference policy to be revised to better define the process for completing postponed or interrupted contests and to grant authority to the Commissioner to determine the date and location of future games that may need to be rescheduled if the two involved institutions cannot mutually identify a date.
"It was important for us to come to a resolution. Each university had its own set of concerns throughout this process, however existing SEC regulations did not provide an avenue to resolve conflicting issues in a more timely manner," SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said. "As I have repeatedly said, this game needed to be played. In the end, I want to give credit to the University of Florida for making concessions to move this year's game to Baton Rouge."
LSU has also agreed to play the 2017 in Gainesville, which was originally scheduled to be played in Baton Rouge. LSU will return to Gainesville in 2018 as the normal schedule rotation resumes.
The SEC Commissioner's Regulations requires each football team play all eight Conference games in a season in order to be eligible to compete for a divisional title and play in the SEC Championship Game. Had the game not been rescheduled, Florida and LSU would have been ineligible to compete for the SEC title this season.
LSU was originally scheduled to play South Alabama on November 19 in Baton Rouge and Florida was slated to host Presbyterian on the same day in Gainesville. LSU and Florida will exercise cancellation clauses for those respective games.
"Lastly, I send thanks to Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Karl Benson and his membership which worked in collaboration and a great spirit of cooperation in presenting options as we worked through this process," Sankey said.

Fla still get the best deal out of this by far. Time to heal the strength of their team. They make up for their Nov 19th home game by getting an extra one next year and insurance money for the postponement while we are the only ones who lose out on a home game next year with the same amount this year. This is still a major failure on the SEC Comish since LSU really couldn't do anything else when it really boils down to it. It's time to skull drag these gaturds across the Valley on the 19th.

Uhh, Florida is playing two seasons in a row in Baton Rouge.
Once again, the LSU fanbase proves why they are the worst in the country.

Ask Foley and Sankey. Their refusal to do anything Aleva attempted to offer is the cause of all this. The ridiculous thing is apparently those two buffoons actually expected LSU to just give up a home game and eat it just for Florida even after LSU tried to play the game in every way and avoid these problems. When they csused the situation they shouldn't be surprised when LSU became adamant about home games. Screw those two morons.

The SEC will most likely pay for the buyout of both teams with their insurance fund
