LSU has some strong reasons not to play on 11/19. Player safety and student athelete's grades being primary reasons not to play.
Sankey's call was for reasonableness was probably the right position before UForfeit did what they did.

Now he is going to have to make some tough decisions which he should have made last week. His indecision last week has led to a big mess.

Sankey could not make Florida play the game, and he cannot make LSU and Florida reschedule it. That's the issue here.

If I'm LSU I refuse 11/19 under ANY circumstances.

The only possible way I'd consider it is if they made A&M reschedule.

Bama would love 10/29, too.

No bye week for LSU before the big game.

His interview tells me he's not a leader. He won't be making any hard decisions alone.

I don't think LSU cancelling a home game should even be on the table. It's craziness

And with our luck they will tell us if we don't agree we have to forfeit

Saw this on twitter.

Greg Sankey- guys we really need to try to figure this out.

2 years ago...

Mike Slive- This game WILL be played. Either y'all pick a spot or I will. You have till Wednesday...

Senior game too. They deserve that last home game with their Fam on the field and running out the tunnel one last time.

The best decision was to move the game to Sunday or Monday. He let Florida make him their bitch.

Either they move the cocktail party and we play 10/29, or UF can forfeit.

Lsu having to cancel a home game is not an acceptable solution.

Not upset about losing the bye, especially if we have momentum

Yes he can.

But I don't think he has the chest.

He should have said today that this game WILL be played come hellvor high water.

Yep, even if the West is on the line. The right thing isn't always the easy thing.

SEC will keep dicking LSU over unless it's made to publicly look bad.

That bye week has done us no good lately. Wouldn't sadden me to see it go. Maybe lsu putting the bama game on such a pedestal has been a problem.

Sankey is a policy wonk, weakling. He is an embarrassment to The SEC. He wants consensus which will not force him to make a decision.

They "white boarded" all day long....what is that???? This is a mess because he did not have the "stones" to tell Florida to play the game Sunday.

And now he may have ruined the season for several teams...

Sankey needs to be sacked!

LSU should refuse to reschedule. It is not in the best interest of the student athletes or the program.

Let Sankey sink.
