SEC shifts Ole Miss-Oklahoma game to Sunday after FAA delay

The Southeastern Conference moved Ole Miss’ game at Oklahoma from Saturday to Sunday after a nationwide FAA ground stop prevented the Rebels from traveling to Norman. Although the flight restrictions were lifted Friday evening, Ole Miss could not secure a charter departure until Saturday afternoon. Oklahoma athletic director Roger Denny said the school strongly opposed the change and was warned it would forfeit if it did not play Sunday at the league’s directed time. Denny called the decision unfair and criticized the disruption to Oklahoma players and fans who had made plans for a Saturday game.
