Seriously though, This is a joke. You lift the suspension because you didn't play the game because for some insane reason that's what logically makes sense? It's not even really about how it will impact the game, or the fact that it's Florida, you levied a one game suspension and then didn't bother to enforce it, that's bush league.

Pretty sure losing reps for a week, having to tell your friends and family you're suspended for the game, and not going through pre-game is the real punishment for being suspended for 1 game.
Suspending them for the 2nd game, simply because the 1st was deemed unplayable would be over punishing the players.
It's like your work suspending you for 1 day, and then telling you that you're suspended another day simply because a water main broke at the office the day you were suspended and everyone else got to go home also...
actually, if you're suspended for a game you don't take the same first teams reps in practice the week leading up to the game, at least at Florida.Not at all the same IMO.
You're only suspended for the game, not practice so you're not losing any reps for the week. Only the reps for the game that was never played.
I highly doubt that the players telling their family and friends that they couldn't play was "punishment enough" either. That's earily similar to me teling my son that the teacher giving him a sad face was "punishment enough".
You want to set an example? Set a punishment and stick by it.
