Why should you be rewarded?
Besides, it wouldn't be penalized. Your number of home games against one another over a 4 year period would be identical. You got them at home last year and this year. They'd get you at home in 2017 & 2018. It would be back to you in 2019 and back to them in 2020. Not that hard.
And give up a guaranteed sell out home game in 2017? Not a chance.
If the game is in Tiger Stadium it won't be a sell out and the revenue generated won't come close to what a true planned year in advance home game pulls in.

LSU would lose money that's a penalty and they would have 3 days to sellout the stadium.

Not sure what there is to be ashamed about, they aren't rushing to judgment and will make a sensible decision. This isn't their first time dealing with a hurricane.

where is UF proposing the game to be played? I haven't heard a reasonable alternative...

This isn't about reward/punishment. But I think you know that and are just stirring the pot here.

When's the last time this administration had to deal with moving a game due to a hurricane?

the only true realistic neutral site would be mobile if it isnt played in baton rouge

You realize everything that goes into putting on a football game? It isn't magic. Any longer delay and the game is likely cancelled. The NCAA is not going to make LSU fly into Florida.

LSU couldn't sell out a home SEC game in 3 days?

We have no idea how stubborn Florida is being about the situation.
Furthermore, if there are realistic alternatives to playing the game in Gainsville and UF takes a hard line and refuses to accept a relocation, then it should be counted as a forfeit and the W goes to LSU in the SEC standings. This game will not simply be cancelled because the state of Florida in a state of emergency. There are alternatives available.

LSU fans melting and down voting the shite out if you 
Posted on 10/5/16 at 2:24 pm to bamasgot13
We didn't vs USC last season. People claim they make plans to do things when LSU has a scheduled away game

Like I said previously, my gut tells me they move it to Monday ala what LSU did with Tennessee that one year...
All I am saying is it would not surprise me to see the SEC just switch the times and hope for the best.
