In the contracts that the little schools sign, start including language that states in the event of weather cancellation on Saturday they are required to stay over till Sunday to play the game or they don't get their check.


what about the referees, line crew, stadium workers, parking attendants, police for traffic control, stadium security, etc?

It's funny to see all the people who think it's just so simple as "let them stay in a hotel and play Sunday!" There's more to it than that. A football game is a massive undertaking and the schedules are known 12 months in advance. It's a tad difficult to plan and organize the logistics that go into a gameday on 12 hours notice.

You lose a W against a cupcake team. Who cares? Move on.

MLB games and NASCAR races get delayed all the time and the workers don't seem to have a problem being back the next day.
