That's not how scheduling these events works. The venues have to be booked years in advance and usually want multi-year contracts.
I realize this, and you've got to be naive to not realize that the SEC could negotiate its way out of a contract, or have it setup to do so. I think these other locations would love to have a shot at the Championship at least once.

Every contract has an out in it and it usually involves a buyout. You may say I;m naive but I see a lot of contracts and I would have to say you're being a bit naive yourself to think a venue would just let an organization with very deep pockets like the SEC walk away without out a huge payout. Especially if they know it's a testing the waters type deal.
This whole "But we're the SEC" thing isn't going to get them out of a payout and it won't be small.

I guess we didn't have any championship games before they built the Georgia Dome. I wonder what the SEC would ever do without it.

The teams playing in the championship might all fall out if they play "outside on grass".

You mean the way football is supposed to be played?
