re: The End: LSU - Florida

It's always about money. If we reschedule, it has to be in Gainesville. Why would UF give up a huge payday? People have to eat. But, another point is the liability, which is very real. Let's say they move it to Atlanta, BR, etc., during a coastal evacuation order. Some idiot drives in a ditch and dies wearing a Gator tshirt. His family sues the school and the state that he was rushing to get to LA to see the Gator game. Somebody has a heart attack laying on their couch. They are going to attribute it to the stress from the storm (even though he was eating 5 lbs of cheetohs every day) and he just so happen to be wearing a Gator or LSU shirt so the schools are responsible.

Then there's the insensitivity angle. No one knows the severity of a hurricane. You end up having a lot of people killed or displaced, where folks are trying to find shelters, especially moving towards Gainesville and you're playing a game??? Why do you think LSU postponed N.Texas during Katrina? You could have still played the game but it would have looked real bad with evacuees laying across the campus.
