🏈 Hurricane Matthew: LSU/UF decision (UPDATED to be played 11/19 @ LSU)

[rick4bama]

I don't see either LSU or UF canceling those OCC games. UF to but out the game with Presbyterian is $500,000, LSU is playing South Alabama and to but out is $1.5 mil.

Not to mention that LSU loses all the revenue of a home game.

opcorn2:

I know nothing of the conversations that was had last week, but it was pretty clear they should have made a decision sooner. Seems to me Sankey should have played a stronger role in the decision.

70+ years ago the weather forecast could be predicted for D-Day. I think they can do even better today.

If a home game is canceled, there are insurance policies in place that cover lost revenue.

However, if that game is moved to another site (like UF moving the game to LSU,) or moved to a neutral site that policy is canceled.

Based on my math (scary thought, I know,) LSU would lose 500K to pay off Presbyterian and then receive whatever amount they have with their insurance carrier.

UF keeps their home game against LSU, loses the game against USA (along with the 1.5) and those gate receipts.

That is IF I have this figured out correctly. (It's early, on a Monday, and I'm still cleaning up crap from the storm ... so forgive my math.)

Spencer Hall's take on this was interesting to me:

Florida will never do anything it doesn’t have to do, ever, because the general pattern of the program since it tasted a thimbleful of success has been colossal arrogance. It’s our thing, whether we can back it up or not. Florida plays no out-of-conference games it does not have to, and has not for the entirety of Jeremy Foley’s tenure as athletic director. It tolerates no coverage it does not want, and was one of the first programs to create its own media apparatus to make news it liked.​

You know as I read what your have wrote here. What I'm thinking is UF is like a business, what business want to lose money. Right now LSU is the one that has the highest amount to lost.

I believe the insurance policies cover cancelations due to factors beyond control of the school (weather, earthquakes, civil unrest, etc). I don't think it would cover canceling a game in order to play another. In addition, policies generally cover costs, not expected profit. Add that to what the city and local businesses lose (which wouldn't be covered by insurance) and it's a mess.

The bottom line is that someone is afraid to play the game. Shame on lswho and florida. ALL other teams impacted by the hurricane made arrangements.

FIFY.

Tulane at UCF will be played 11/5. All other games were played.

I had this explained to me a few years ago so there's a GOOD possibility I've forgotten the details.

I'm sure that's in the details of the policy—something we are privy to knowing.

SBnation has an article up covering part of this. I want to say it came out Sunday. I'll see if I can find it after lunch.

Report: LSU-Florida negotiating to play postponed game
Florida and LSU postponed their scheduled Southeastern Conference football game on Saturday because of Hurricane Matthew, but it appears the schools are trying to find a way to make up the game.

Immediately after the postponement there were reports that the game would be canceled and not made up because the two schools couldn't agree on specifics, but Clay Travis of Fox Sports tweeted Monday morning that details may be taking shape.

Hearing LSU at Florida may happen on 11/19. LSU would play South Alabama on 10/29 & UF would play Presby on 10/22. Negotiations ongoing.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey spoke about the game Saturday during the broadcast of the Tennessee-Texas A&M game on CBS, and indicated that he wanted to see the game played.

When the matchup was canceled, many speculated that the teams could meet Nov. 19 and buy out South Alabama and Presbyterian for canceling those games, but it appears there may be a solution that saves those games as well.

The SEC offices can pay those cancellation amounts then since their decision caused this. Florida State and Miami played as well as North Carolina and Virginia Tech which had awful weather. Ole Sankey can foot that bill if they do cancel.

@TerryP all I can said is this opcorn2: just watching to see what happen.

Now what that got to do with the UF game?

 

[OldPlayer]

I think the SEC needs to come down with the hammer and tell them what they will do, not what they can do. It will cost money, but make the SEC contribute to the fix since they didn't step in at the beginning to make it work.

Hey, it isn't Bama's problem that you, Joe, didn't get things worked out. UGa and SC were able to play on Sunday. Bama doen't have to play on the 29th to make you feel better.

 

[252BAMA]

Simple solution. SEC reschedules the game on 12/3, and petitions the NCAA and CFP to allow, IF NECESSARY, the SECCG be moved to 12/10. Army-Navy is being played 12/10, so why not the SECCG?

IF NECESSARY means that either or both E-W division champions can not be determined without LSU-UF being played. Most likely scenario is that both LSU-UF and SECCG would be played on 12/3.

 

[TerryP]

, IF NECESSARY, the SECCG be moved to 12/10. Army-Navy is being played 12/10, so why not the SECCG?

There was a press conference with Bill Hancock discussing Navy and their move to the AAC. He said at that time if Navy had an opportunity to be a part of the New Years 6 the committee would wait until after that game to announce the pairing for the post-season.
