Both teams had contractual agreement and ample opportunity to play the game this weekend. One wanted and begged to play. The other team didn't want to play this weekend and chose to delay and fail to respond long enough to avoid playing a weekend it didn't want to play. SEC did nothing when it could have made the game happen this weekend - even in Gainesville since all have known since yesterday afternoon that the storm damage impact to the State of Florida was mostly going to be a non event. Turns out the game could have been played Saturday at later time and certainly could / should have been played Sunday or Monday if planned from Thursday as tentative if storm was as non impactful as it appeared it would be on Thursday night. Turns out it was even less impactful.

No reason to cost LSU, Ole Miss, UGA, S Alabama or Presbyterian fans - who are innocent in this fiasco - more loss of money they have spent and plans they made just because FL and SEC admin were cowards or incompetent. At this point, the fairest solution is to rule the game a forfeited loss by UF since it is UF who refused to support a solution to play the game this weekend when it was scheduled. But the SEC won't do that because it's complicit in this fiasco via inaction and incompetence. So we are simply left with the first canceled SEC game in a very long time because UF are cowards and the SEC is incompetent.
