How long is it going to take to make a decision?

So the teams met yesterday with ESPN tot talk about it.
Discussed options.
A few other stadiums volunteered to host the game.
It seems to me like everybody is dragging arse on this and I'm kinda getting a bad vibe. Obviously Houston isn't viable, so how much longer can everybody dick this thing around? When South Carolina/LSU had to be moved, they didn't squeeze the trigger until Tuesday/Wednesday and the stadium was pretty much a shite show. I know there's moving parts to this kind of stuff that I can't even fathom, but it just seems like the longer a decision takes to be made, the more possibilities for everything to be all fricked up.
I guess I'm just worried they'll keep batting everything around until ESPN says "Let's postpone it to later..."

The "deadline" for most locations seems to be Tuesday so today or tomorrow at some point.
That being said I am checking twitter every 2-3 minutes it seems like

They will probably narrow it down to two options, then wait to see which direction the storm goes.

It's not like trying to decide where to eat on a Friday night lol. You have to look at weather projections, lodging, team and fan logistics, ticket and concession metrics. It isn't simple in the least bit

I'm hearing the negotiations with the stadium officials are taking longer than expected. Mainly because nobody on our end speaks Romanian

No it wasn't.
I was there.
Sounds like you're just pulling things out of your arse to try and support whatever point you're trying to make.

The problem is every where we might move them game is potentially in the path of the storm.

They have checklists that they are going through today for each location and will assess from there. Need to make sure enough resources are available such as hotel rooms and police to work the game. It will take up most of the day.
Expect to hear some leaks later in the day with the official statement coming tomorrow.

Bruh... There are multiple stadiums doing pre checks and preparations, and officials are looking to see what the storm will look like tomorrow. How are they "draggin arse"?

You have it exactly backwards. ESPN isn't dragging feet. ESPN has a specific timeslot for the game, they want to ensure wherever they move it to can handle the game, that the assets-cameras staff--everything can get to site and have ample hotel rooms to accommodate etc.
ESPN wants the game in and wants to find a place that can do it and wants to minimize any possible weather, flooding or other issues.

Calm down . Our AD, the best AD in the business hands down, will issue an announcement by 5pm that he intends to issue a statement on Tuesday that will clarify what time on Wednesday he will announce the Thursday agreement on what side of his desk he intends to put the pile of paper containing all his discussions on the game venue . Just be patient.

Dragging arse? It's been one damn day.
Posted on 8/28/17 at 11:16 am to Giantkiller
Decision will be made at 3:50 then presser at 4.

Calm down. There is a lot to consider.
