SEC Shifts Ole Miss-Oklahoma Game to Sunday After FAA Ground Stop
The Southeastern Conference moved the Ole Miss at Oklahoma game from a 4:15 p.m. ET Saturday kickoff in Norman to 1 p.m. ET Sunday due to Friday's FAA ground stoppage from air traffic control issues, which prevented the Rebels from flying out of Oxford on time. Oklahoma athletic director Roger Denny objected strongly, calling the change unfair to players, the school, and fans with Saturday plans, while analysts like Gabe Ikard and Will Compton criticized Ole Miss for not pushing through. Ole Miss faced unique challenges with crew timeouts at their small regional airport in Tupelo, and the outage stranded over 1.5 million passengers nationwide—no other college game shifted to Sunday.
