UForfeit :
*Refused to play on Saturday. At the time of their choosing.
*Refused to play on Sunday.
*Refused to play on Monday.
*Refused multiple neutral venues of their choosing on multiple days.
*Refused to play at an empty stadium of their choosing.
*Refused to play in Tiger Stadium.
*Only responded with "the game will be played in Gainesville. Period."
LSU made it clear it would do essentially anything to play the game, including picking up UForfeit travel costs ot flying in and out of ANY venue including Gainesville on the day of the game. This was expressed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday right up to the point of cancellation.
Why would the fans of A&M, Georgia, Arkansas or any other possibly-effected teams think UForfeit give a shite about your travel fans or anything else? UForfeit cares about competitive advantages and nothing else.
The entire league should convene via conference call at the highest levels, force a forfeit, write a letter that shames UForfeit for being so arrogant and needy, and move the frick on. Easiest and most justifiable solution for a team that essentially refused to play a scheduled game.
frick UForfeit.

UF made a shitty move. That doesn't mean we have to move our game. Deal with it.

The only good argument against this would be if it costs television money. They made no reasonable effort to play the game and now both competitive balance and the schedules of other teams are being thrown into the grinder.
Think about how silly it would be for Florida to win the East if the game isn't played.
If it were played and LSU/A&M were moved to a normal Saturday I wonder if the Alabama/Auburn game could be moved to the Thursday? Neither team has a real game (looks like Auburn plays a cupcake and Bama has a bye) the week before.
