When they cancel these games why don't they just move the game to the opponents field or do similar to what UVA is doing and use a team who is away that weekend for their field?

WVU vs NCST has been cancelled, why not move to Morgantown?
ECU vs VPI has been cancelled, why not move to neutral inland?
UNC vs UCF has been cancelled, why not move to Orlando or safe empty neutral?

I think they should be required to play the game so everyone can move on.

Step one is try to play at opponents stadium, two is a nuetral field.

South Carolina should move the Marshall game there and they can just have a double-header/football festival type thing.

Do you understand at all the logistics necessary to move a college football game?

Negotiations for a stadium
Police presence
Security and support team at the stadium
Hotel rooms for the team
dining arrangements
Travel arrangements, air or bus
Fans travel and lodging arrangements
Leaving family during a storm and those concerns
Returning home after a storm, can you get back?

It's not that easy, but it's Weds. so get right on it!
You have 24hrs before the storm comes ashore.

Do schools like these have the resources to pick up and move a game hundreds of miles away to a neutral site at the last minute? I doubt it, and even if they did then how many people would even show up?

For bigger schools with large fanbases it would be worth it, but not for ECU vs VPI
