A Tale of Two Postponed Football Games

This past Friday Hurricane Matthew blew past the east coast of Florida, in the process inflicting some tropical storm weather over the Gainesville area.  Because there was a mass evacuation of the population living in the coastal areas, hotels in more inland counties like my Alachua were used by those under evacuation to have a place to lodge while riding out the storm...which was well out of the area by Saturday morning and on its way to South and North Carolina.  Because of the uncertainties surrounding the effects of Matthew on the local area as well as those hotel considerations, the Southeastern Conference decided to indefinitely postpone the scheduled Saturday afternoon home football game between the University of Florida and Louisiana State.  The make-up game between the two schools will presumably be held at a later date toward the end of the season.  That was all fine with me...that is, until I turned on the TV this Sunday afternoon and beheld the game between Georgia and South Carolina...at the latter's stadium in Columbia...going on live!  So, let me try to understand...the UF-LSU game was postponed indefinitely, even though they could have rescheduled it for Sunday.  Yet for some reason, the very same football conference, while putting that game in indefinite limbo and rejecting the next-day Sunday option, turned around and staged the Georgia-Carolina contest on Sunday...even though Matthew had affected that area more recently...

There had occured some kind of controversy when an ESPN talking head accused the University of Florida of trying to get their game with LSU postponed...he seemed to think that meant cancelling the game outright...and Gator quarterback Luke Del Rio tweeted a stinging rebuke to him.  But then why was it that one game was postponed indefinitely because of Hurricane Matthew and the other just put off until the very next day?  This makes little sense to me...maybe someone can explain the Southeastern Conference's rationale for rendering these two vastly different decisions under such similar circumstances so that I can see the logic here, which is right now evading me...
