Is the SEC also going to reimburse the $6-$7 million impact on the Baton Rouge economy that the cancellation of a home game would cause.

The reason for their lack of contingency planning is because they didn't want to play. That is clear.

I think this story is more accurate:

For every excuse that Foley claimed yesterday, S.Carolina made it happen last yr. Same exact circumstances. No SEC involvement, just the 2 schools working together. Course, that takes 2 schools. Fla. did not want to play anywhere but in Gainesville on Sat. Next yr in TS will be ugly, almost as bad as nicky's first return to TS as bama's HC.

Speculation: It will cost LSU 1.5 million to pay USA for their game (assuming LSU plays UF on the 19th). Seems logical to me that the SEC would pay that fee and relieve LSU of the financial hit.
But LSU would also lose $3 million for giving up a home game's "profit."

So the total cost to LSU for giving up the USA game and traveling to Forfeit University would be $4.5 million.

Would the SEC be willing to allocate that much to LSU over and above its normal year end distribution, thus making the entire SEC schools receive several hundred thousand dollars less? Doubtful.

how about including the preceding paragraph...

quote:

LSU surely would rather not play three straight league games on the road, especially considering the last one, against the Aggies, is during a shortened week. It also would mean giving up a home game and losing revenue for the school and the city. So the Tigers are likely to push for a cancellation of the game.


So, if the only alternative is to play nov. 19th, LSU would wisely be against it.

Oops. I see the confusion now. I took this post as some sort of inside joke that I didn't get. I tried to respond with a funny non-response.

I see your confusion. I apologize.

Sankey got schlonged by Foley and then Foley used you, Brett, to put out the lie about LSU declining Nov 19 (although we should, and may).

Why aren't you reporting on the lies about Foley waking up Thursday morning to "2 big shifts in the hurricanes path"? LSU fans have been watching that hurricane since before last weekend. Go look at the thread on the O-T and see when it was started. That hurricane was projected to bounce along the Florida coast from day 1. Foley was lying his arse off. They never wanted to play this weekend, and it's obvious because they kept their recruiting visits and sent the poor volleyball girls to South Carolina anyway. Won't somebody think about their families?????

Baton Rouge can't afford 15 million dollar hit of losing a home game

In other words, there’s a very real incentive for the Tigers to get this game rescheduled and played. The Gators? Not so much.


This is the heart of the matter. It benefits Florida to not play the game but LSU really needs the game if we are going to contend for the SEC West. (not saying we will but if that plays out then we need this game and a win).

Florida played this to their advantage 100% and will laugh all the way to the SEC Championship if the game is not made up. Really a shame the SEC didn't make this happen.

This game is going to be played all you have to do is look at one quote by Foley in that article to tell you that it is going to get played somehow, someway and probably at LSU's expense.

The schools have different opinions on how it should be handled, and ultimately, the league will have to decide.

We are way too poor right now (according to SECr) to give up a home game to help the state of Florida
rebuild their infrastructure after Mathew.

Whatever the consequences to the SEC after LSU declines the game against Florida is not on us.

We are contractually obligated to play the Universry of South Alabama on November
19, 2016 and preferably at night!

I certainly get a different opinion from reading this board. And, the people on this board seem to come to a far better conclusion than the espn story does.

It makes no sense to me for LSU to want to cancel the game.



are you really posting on TD to get up your clicks? Your article is shitty, and so are you.
