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.

Teams do it so it's not impossible.

This is not an insurmountable and easily covered in the massive TV payouts from the past few years.

It may not be, but plenty of money to do something.
When the GA Dome got damaged the Bumbles let the SEC use their empty arena. Seating was limited to 300 per school (300 for UK and 300 for UGA) but the game went on and was not cancelled.
As they are doing this several days in advance, solutions can be found.

I think every rational fan does except Jeremy Foley and Greg Sankey. You can always wait until the absolute last second after having given the decision no attention for three days.

You're joking, right?
2005 LSU vs Arizona State moved from Baton Rouge to Arizona. Proceeds went to Katrina recovery.
2015 LSU vs USCe moved from South Carolina to Louisiana. Proceeds went to flood recovery for South Carolina.
2017 LSU vs BYU moved from Houston to New Orleans.
Those are just the ones for one team that I can think of off the top of my head.
