If a classic organizer doesn't book the matchups years in advance then the classic organizers are really just hoping to convince a team to move a home game. As you pointed out the lure of playing in the "classic" environment has lost it's luster, especially if you're a smaller school. Playing in an NFL stadium probably doesn't feel that great if only a few thousand fans show up, and for the classics that have been in places like Indy or Chicago local citizens are only really showing up for the larger name programs. So unless the classic organizers are paying expenses, plus an additional lumpsum to account for the missed home revenue, then I don't see why a team would agree to move a home game to some NFL stadium hundreds of miles away.
