The Gators and Eagles will kick off at noon in Gainesville shortly before NFL games around the country. Playing the game guarantees Eastern Washington a $750,000 payday, a significant revenue source for a school with an athletic budget around $17.5 million. The University of Florida canceled classes and all student-related activities Wednesday through Friday in anticipation of Ian's predicted landfall. Ian tore into western Cuba on Tuesday as a major hurricane, with nothing to stop it from intensifying into a catastrophic Category 4 storm before it hits Florida, where officials ordered 2.5 million people to evacuate before it crashes ashore Wednesday.
The NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday were relocating their football operations to the Miami area in preparation for Sunday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
