Rick George is making several huge assumptions when he scheduled home-and-away football games between the Colorado Buffaloes and the Florida Gators in 2028 and 2029.
First, football will exist in 2028. The Buffs take on the Gators in Gainesville in the first of two meetings, but it’s not clear exactly that football will ever in its current form, if at all. It could be 7-on-7 at that point, or it could be flag football. It could even be 7-on-7 flag football played on trampolines. We have no idea.
Second, Florida will exist in 2028. Most climate change studies predict that the Florida coast will be gone by the 2050s, so even if Gainesville was on the coast (it’s actually ~50 miles from the beach), there is still time to play football in there.
