More of the story is coming into view now.

Clemson had an O-Line player test positive, but Clemson didn't get the test results until after their flight to FSU.  The concern for FSU then was the possibility of spread across the team and specifically during the flight.   Clemson assured FSU that all players and coaches were wearing N95 masks on the flight.   

FWIW - I have seen Clemson's approach to mask wearing during a number of games.   Let's just say there is a difference between people in the Clemson football program using N95 masks compared to the approach utilized by health care workers. 

Clemson officials then tried to offer a bunch of options to get FSU health officials more comfortable, but ultimately FSU said no to all of them.

I can't help but wonder if FSU was 8-0 instead of 2-6 would FSU found a way to get comfortable with Clemson's approach?   My guess is if FSU was 8-0 or 7-1 then this game would be played. 

If FSU in the lenient ACC and in football loving Florida with Gov DeSantis in charge can cancel a game, I am pretty confident it will happen again.
