LSU and The Wuss Reschedule

[El Paso Eagle]

The SEC announced that the schools would buy out nonconference games on Nov. 19 -- Florida against Presbyterian and LSU against South Alabama -- so the Gators could visit Tiger Stadium that day. The conference also announced LSU will play at Florida in each of the next two seasons.

LSU will pay $1.5 million to buy out South Alabama, and Florida will pay $500,000 to buy out Presbyterian.

South Bama gets 1.5 mil NOT to play and we get 1 mil to travel to Florida.  This proves my point.  Big programs have all the money they need when they need it.  If we continue to play "pay check" games, we need to raise the rent.

I didn't take the time to look it up, but I was thinking the buyout (with such a ridiculously late cancellation) is probably higher than what USA would have been paid if the game was played.

This makes no sense.

They're paying $1.5 as essentially a cancellation fee.
