3 PM Friday Stormtracker update:
"Houston/Galveston to Beaumont/Port Arthur: Off and on heavy squalls moving inland today through Monday, producing several inches of rainfall per day. Some squalls may contain small, short-lived tornadoes. Heaviest rain will come on Tuesday through Thursday of next week as Harvey passes to the west. Torrential rain and extensive flooding is possible."
Take it for what it's worth -- but if the "heaviest rains" actually do hit Houston on Thursday and there is widespread flooding... having a game on Saturday night would be difficult, in my opinion.
Bottom line -- they won't move the game a week out, not KNOWING and by the time they KNOW - there will be no opportunity to move the game.
Just my opinion.

The main problem is the sponsors it appears.
They're probably ok with holding out until the very last minute if there's a chance the game can be saved. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose by doing the smart thing for the schools, which is announcing a relocation far enough in advance for fans to make the appropriate arrangements.
The needs of the schools and the sponsors aren't in sync here. Sponsors probably have no qualms about canceling the game if it means they knew for sure that it couldn't be played in Houston.
