Yes, it's easy to hate on UF for the way that they managed this situation. It would not Surprise me in the least to find out that they slow played this for their own benefit, but they aren't the ones that should shoulder most of the blame. It's not to say that we shouldn't be angry with UF, but if I'm being honest with myself, a part of me understands where they are coming from and I can't say that I wouldn't feel the same way that they are feeling.

What is unacceptable, however, is the fact that the SEC had no contingency plan in place and has essentially allowed UF to hold LSU and the entire conference hostage. There should be clear guidelines for moving back games to Sunday and Monday, multiple neutral sites previously agreed upon, and a clear policy on moving the game to the opponent's stadium if all else fails. This wait and see, dragging your feet approach is bush league bullshite that never should have been allowed by the SEC in the first place.

I would say that I'm hopeful they will address this in the spring, but we all know boy to hold our breath.


Tl;dr. Blame the SEC for this shite show.

Agreed. UF handled it inappropriately and so did the SEC, but Sankey ultimately made the call. He's new to the office and dealing with an AD who is a 25 year Vet. Foley played his cards right, taking a knee till the end...

Sankey's hand was forced, because he let Foley delay a decision and insist that they wouldn't be changing the venue.

Foley will be out in 3 weeks with a nice retirement package and we'll be "paying" for it

I'm with you. Every game needs 2-3 alternative sites designated from this point forward
