LSU is the only host with sun delays but our true believers here still think it’s the NCAA

Pregame its our AD or designee

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Before the game:
The home team's athletic director or designee determines if the game can start based on field conditions and weather.
During the game:
The umpires have the authority to make decisions about weather delays and suspensions, including lightning delays.
Team agreements:
Before the game, the home and visiting teams can agree on specific guidelines and protocols related to weather delays and lightning safety.
NCAA guidelines:
The NCAA provides guidelines for lightning safety, including recommendations on when to suspend play and resume activities after lightning or thunder.
Safety first:
The primary focus of weather delay decisions is player safety, especially regarding lightning.

Look around the country. Look how many delays there are and how long they last. Then compare and contrast and draw your own conclusions.

Doesn’t look like any more rain coming. I understand not wanting to start Eyenson if there was a chance . Everything looks like it’s staying north of us but I guess he wants to make sure.

The official answer is that it is both the NCAA and a school appointed expert that monitors the situation who collaborates and makes a call.
In practical application, the NCAA just rubber stamps what the school appointee says.
In TD world, it’s hard not to believe Jay isn’t influencing the school appointee

The NCAA officials. Jay has no say in this. I don’t know why people think he does.

Because they can’t hate on the product he puts on the field, so they have to find something to bitch about.
Only a fricking moron would think that the NCAA, who controls and runs the tournament with personnel at every host site, would leave such decisions to the home teams.

That is for regular-season games. For postseason, the final call is an NCAA official onsite, but the home team coach probably has some influence. If it is a lightning delay, that is determined by a service with hard and fast rules about how to proceed.
