Finally, all my interests have converged!
While I agree that this is being handled poorly by the SEC, it is largely out of the hands of Ole Miss. The Ole Miss charter situation is a bit different than that of most other programs.
Ole Miss charters via JetBlue operating out of Tupelo Regional Airport, an hour bus trip from Oxford. KTUP is a small airport with little scheduled commercial traffic, it is uncontrolled after 10pm, and is not a hub or base of operations for JetBlue.
Due to the nationwide ground stop, the JetBlue crew operating the Ole Miss charter certainly would have timed out their duty day before the aircraft could depart.
Since it isn't a hub or base of operations, no relief crew would have been available to operate the charter tonight and no commercial flights departed from or arrived at KTUP after the ground stop was lifted so none could be flown in.
That means the earliest Ole Miss can depart would be when the rest period for the assigned crew is up, 10 hours, which only begins after the duty day ends. Depending on when that occurred, it is possible their next duty day couldn't even begin until after 8am. Add in an hour to bus/pre-flight, an hour to board, an hour and a half flight into Oklahoma City, an hour to load onto buses and half an hour to bus to Norman it would have been early afternoon before Ole Miss could get to OU.
Even if kick was delayed until evening, that would be pushing it in terms of player safety and it is also unclear if the SEC even offered a late Saturday kick time as an option.
Could an all-out last ditch effort made it work? Sure. But is an Ole Miss-Oklahoma game in mid-November worth making that all-out last ditch effort at the risk of player safety? I would personally say no. Unfortunately that means Oklahoma fans, through no fault of their own, get screwed. Knowing OU fans as I do, they'll find a way to make it hell on Ole Miss Sunday.

I get Oklahoma’s frustration, but I might be excited about some Sunday SEC football
Every SEC road team found a way to its game after the FAA ground stop except one, and Oklahoma is furious about it.
>🚨The SEC moved Ole Miss at Oklahoma to Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, TV TBA. OU AD Roger Denny said Greg Sankey made the call "over our strong objection" and then told OU that "our failure to play on Sunday at the directed time would result in a forfeit"
>🗣️Denny: "We were told that Ole Miss explored every avenue to travel to Norman and play on Saturday as planned. But, unlike every other team traveling for competition tomorrow, they were unable to find a solution"
- "Put simply, this decision isn't fair to our athletes, our institution or to Sooner Nation. But we've been given no other choice"
- OU remains "steadfast in our belief that the wrong outcome was reached this evening," he said
>✈️The SEC's explanation: Ole Miss couldn't leave Oxford on Friday night, and a late-night departure "could not be accommodated by the charter company." The Rebels can't depart until after 4 p.m. Saturday because of charter and pilot issues and time expirations, per Ross Dellenger
>🤔The Athletic's Chris Vannini: "It's quite remarkable after a nationwide grounding that every FBS college football team will get to its destination tonight or early tomorrow. Great work by all the logistics people. And then there's Ole Miss-Oklahoma"
- OU beat writer George Stoia: "Everyone in the country can get to their game except Ole Miss"
How the ground stop hit every SEC game (all times ET):
>🏈Auburn at Mississippi State: moved from noon to 4:15 p.m., now on SEC Network instead of ESPN2. Auburn was grounded and drove instead
>🏈Alabama at Vanderbilt: 12:45 p.m., SEC Network, no change. The Tide bused to Nashville
>🏈Tennessee at Texas A&M: 3 p.m., ESPN, no change. The Vols' plane got in the air on Friday night after the stop lifted
>🏈Missouri at Georgia: 3:30 p.m., ABC, no change. Mizzou had already landed in Athens
>🏈Florida at Kentucky: 6:15 p.m., ESPN, no change. The Gators made it to Kentucky on Friday
>🏈Texas at LSU: 7:30 p.m., ABC, no change. The Longhorns reached their team hotel in Baton Rouge at 1:15 a.m. Saturday
>🏈South Carolina at Arkansas: 7:45 p.m., SEC Network, no change. The Gamecocks landed in Northwest Arkansas at 3:14 p.m., before the stop hit
>🏈Ole Miss at Oklahoma: Sunday at 1 p.m., TV TBA. It was set for Saturday at 4:15 p.m. on SEC Network
Seven of eight SEC games stay on Saturday. One got pushed back more than four hours, and one moved a full day.
Your call: Should the SEC have made Ole Miss bus to Norman, or was Sunday the right move? 👇
