Ole Miss game moved to Sunday over flight disruptions, leaving Oklahoma AD furious

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — The Southeastern Conference has announced that Mississippi’s game at Oklahoma will be delayed to Sunday (Nov. 15).

The FAA’s decision to ground all flights prevented the Ole Miss team from leaving Oxford on Friday night. The SEC said a late-night departure couldn’t be arranged. The Rebels will now travel to Oklahoma on Saturday afternoon.

GAME UPDATE: The @OleMissFB at @OU_Football game has been moved to Sunday, Nov. 15 at 1 PM ET / Noon CT due to travel issues related to Friday’s nationwide FAA ground stoppage. Television network is TBA. #SECFB

Oklahoma’s athletic director Rogery Denny criticized the decision, saying it was unfair to the Sooners’ athletes and fans.

Denny said the SEC threatened Oklahoma with a forfeit if it didn’t agree to the change.
