"Florida will pay Idaho its $975,000 guarantee by Feb. 1, 2015, as per the schools' contract. The Gators and Vandals also agreed to schedule a game in 2017."

Pretty sweet deal for Idaho. No loss, get paid, and line up another pay game down the road.

I was wanting this played because I selfishly wanted Idaho to have a cross country trip the week before they played AState.

I can see that I would be thinking the same thing if I was an ASU fan.

Best case scenario for this season .
Bowl ban means no need for extra win even if unlikely.
Team gets an extra week of practice before first game.
Basically a road trip and practice preparing for a road game.

U LM doesn't get to see film of are wishbone/run and shoot offense installed in the off season.

I'm calling that a win! Way to go Idaho! Vandal Up?... what do y'all say?

Agree, it is a win, win for Idaho.

I was thinking all along that game could have gone either way.

They did get some spectacular film of your kickoff coverage unit.

So, Florida's last two games, two of the current Sun Belt teams have gone into Florida for a football game
and neither have left with a loss.

that's a funny, yet interesting tidbit........would make for a great trivia question .

I was told by a uga fan that they DID reschedule for the week before the uga game.

He is probably wrong.

Of course he is.

He's a UGA fan isn't he?
