Quote:It may not be an issue for the home team, but it is a BIG issue for the visiting team. Don't you think what Idaho paid to fly is important too?

 

Also, the bye week is only an issue because Idaho coincidentally shares it. If Idaho's bye week was not October 25, a make-up date would have to be in December.

 

They could have made it up in December now if they wanted to. The Gators could have even put the stipulation that if they didnt make it to the SEC championship game, they would play that week....if they did make it, its a forfeit.

 

I don't blame them one bit for cancelling it, it only made sense.

 

By the way, no I dont think what idaho had to play for travel makes one bit of an issue.  The million or so dollars they are getting is basically covering the schools athletics budget for a whole year with or without those flight expenses.  If FIU/USF were in this situation with Florida and the exact same situation happened with them, they still wouldnt have made the game up.
