I have a feeling he was just putting the bs into perspective.

Does LSU actually pay this fool money?

Basically, these ADs are at a standstill. Sankey is powerless to force teams to cancel OOC games. He only has the power to cancel/reschedule conference games, per SEC bylaws. At the end of the day, the fault in all of this falls at Sankey's feet. Sure Foley may have been being unreasonable, but Sankey could have forced the game to be played Sunday or Monday, but he didn't. This is what happened as a result. It sucks, but it is what it is at this point.


This. All of it.

I will add that the game will be played on 11/19, if it's necessary to decide the winner of either division though.

said if LSU-Florida play on October 29th then Alabama should have a game that day too.

It's official. The obsession and insecurity is statewide and knows no bounds.

Good grief just play the damn game. I'm sick of hearing about two teams that won't have an impact on anything more than 3rd place in their respective divisions.

I agree. I also think in the end it's not going to matter. If it does matter, I hope we have a new commissioner.

if we cancelled the USA game to accommodate the Florida game, he would be costing the university, ticket holders, and local business somewhere in the realm of 20 million dollars. Him not folding on this actually is financially a good decision. It may not have the best optics, and I can assure you this is not a unilateral decision by him either.

But people think its ok for LSU to play 3 SEC games in 12 days..

But why does that make it okay for Alabama to have to change their schedule? This isn't Alabama's problem.

It sucks, but LSU and UF just have to do what they have to do to play the games, if they really want to play the LSU/UF game.

His point wasnt that yall should move your schedule. It was his way of saying we are playing that day either.

this is going to come down to $$$, and that's what it was about from the beginning. And $$$ will result in this game not getting played. It is what it is. College football is a business for the ADs and entertainment for us. The former will always outweigh the latter.

Alleva was simply trying to demonstrate the impossibility of the prospect.

Please UGA beat Florida and ruin their chances of backing into the SEC championship. I want to see their coach and AD throw fits when that happens because we won't reschedule.

He is a friggin' nut. Why should Bama change their schedule because to fricktards could not come to a meaningful resolution. Nothing is as demanding as you friggin' corndogs. Good grief.

IMO, LSU/UF game should be penciled in as a tie and keep the schedule "as is".

Didn't the NCAA put an end to ties, or am I missing something here?

I'm glad he's standing his ground, but why is Joe referencing Alabama having to play on the 29th?

Then again O might be telling him to demand that. Who the frick knows at this point? I just want it to be resolved,

Again it was just to reiterate that we werent playing that day either. He could have said LSU will only play that day if aliens swoop down and play that day too.

He isnt expecting a schedule change for bama.
