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.

ECU vs VPI has been cancelled, why not move to neutral inland?
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

250 million or more conferences

Lack of onsite fans is offset by TV revenue and TV exposure

ECU probably the biggest football fan base in NC
VPI is in the ACC and has pretty damn big fan base as when VPI played the Vols they drew ~157,000 fans to the game. Battle @ Bristol

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.

This is much harder on the team affected and gives the other team a huge advantage especially if they move the game to their home stadium but sometimes that team defies all odds and upsets the home team, 16-10.
After buying an extra six weeks to get all their injured players healthy by whining and pitching a fit like Nancy Kerrigan and refusing to move the game to a neutral site to be played the week it was actually scheduled.
LSU probably would have lost had the game been played in October just because Ed Orgeron was the head coach, but Florida's petulance, childishness and outright dishonesty still need to be called out. Somehow, the Florida volleyball team had no problem hitting the road that weekend in October to play their matches, but God forbid the football team have to do the same.
Jeremy Foley was, is and always will be a slimy, disingenuous, lying prick. And, eventually, Jim McElwain got what he deserved, too. frick him, too.
