Meanwhile, Toledo is offering no refunds (maybe, in part, because students get in free) and is renegotiating the $325,000 payout to Stony: http://www.bcsn.tv/news_article/show/550892?referrer_id=9... The Blade article also interesting insight into the logistics of getting a team to a game. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Due to the holiday, they should have been able to make these up the next day or day after. Shouldn't be that hard.

Just moved Friday games to Sat.

This is very expensive and a logistical nightmare. Back to Top L.C.

Stony Brook had taken a charter flight to the game. The charter plane was not available the next day, so, if they stayed another day to finish the game, the only way for the team to get back home would have been a 12 hour bus trip. The logistical nightmare that Billy alludes to, booking rooms for another night, meals, etc, would have been on top of that, and Stony Brook wasn't willing to agree to stay.

And something that seems as simple as scheduling officials could be a problem. Rescheduling a college game for 1000's and a high school game of local schools for 100's is very very different.

LSU listed "a competitive disadvantage" for next week's game against Mississippi State as the main reason for not playing. If that was really the reason and not the ones you guys mentioned, that's pathetic. Their QB needs all the reps he can get. Back to Top L.C.

I would guess that it at least part of the reason why the matter is being handled differently by the two schools. Toledo wanted to continue the game the next day, but Stony Brook would not agree, so Toledo feels they shouldn't have to pay the full guarantee. In the case of LSU, it was LSU that was unwilling to play the next day, so LSU has little choice but to pay. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top BillyTheCat General User Member Since: 10/6/2012 Post Count: 10,076 Status: Offline     RE: OT: Different ways to handle a cancellation    Posted: 9/9/2015 9:20:25 PM  L.C. wrote: GoCats105 wrote: ...LSU listed "a competitive disadvantage" for next week's game against Mississippi State as the main reason for not playing.

And I'm willing to bet that in Champagne, the University of Illinois picked up part of the tab, which has happened before when game time changes have affected OHIO's travel plans.
