UGA getting a buyout is obvious.
they would play the game one week earlier and might even get a home game out of it. Why would UGA receive a buyout?

The game isn't worth as much to CBS in a different location. That's why.

lets assume you're right that less people would watch the game because it's not in Jacksonville. You're not taking about a total loss but a partial loss. People would still watch just slightly less people.

I really don't think you're grasping the absolute shitstorm that would happen at UGA if this got moved. A home game would not adequately make up for that.

UGA has a fall break around the UF game. Fans have week long rentals down there. WLOCP is the biggest event on UGA's football calendar.

McGarity would need to get a buyout to save his own job.

so now we're moving both the location and date of a much more important game...just to accommodate LSU. Makes sense.
