Hope this helps.

Ok people, tough talk:
I worked in the travel industry during 9/11. Too many people are so ignorant of what havoc that causes downstream they’re talking out of their asses. Just a few examples of what happens:
Ground transportation rentals become very difficult to impossible.
Hotels fill up.
Concerts, sporting events, business meetings, etc get rescheduled or cancelled.
When air traffic returns there are delays and cancellations that take days to weeks to recover, due to crews and planes being out of place. Same with rental cars, vans, buses, etc.
Put the blame on the actual cause, not on people who couldn’t get where they were scheduled to be on time.
This has caused people more serious problems than missing out on watching or playing a sporting event. There are people separated from their young children, missing funerals, people stuck in places where they have no place to sleep, missing important medical treatments, people having to spend more money than they can afford just to get home.
Grow up.

As someone who runs a transportation company, the number of people who have asked this has helped me understand why my job is sooooo painful
Thank you
As someone that’s plan logistics for massive sporting teams/events/military operations and was responsible for flights for Coach Stoops and Lincoln Riley… and OU sports…
There’s no magic wand that could have been waved to predict what occurred yesterday and further more… charter companies and commercial airlines don’t get a say flight plans and dispatching of the plane after a massive ground stop and communication failure! Everything has to be approved by the higher ups and planned accordingly with ATC. Flight plans have to be filed and approved, including any changes!
People need to stop acting so spoiled and entitled and realize that shit happens beyond anyone controls. At least they didn’t cancel the game all together, but instead gave both teams time to get to where they need to be safely!
While the rest of you say well this team, made it here and there… maybe they resources, or were closer to their destination when the NOTAM was issued. There so many variables it hard to say, but stop judging them!

The buses left before the team left (because they assumed they were flying).
It’s not logical for us to find like 6 more buses and drivers on a Friday night and say hey… you mind to cancel any weekend plans you have and drive us to Norman?
Reporting from university north park in Norman, apparently the state of Mississippi does allow bus travel @Eddie_Rado

It’s wild to me how a fanbase can be so upset at someone when it’s out of their control over a football game.
Ah yes
Because we can just hit up airports like an uber
Who does this reflect worse on - OU or Ole Miss.
Personally I think it looks worse for Ole Miss to be the only team that couldn’t figure it out.
From what I’ve read, Ole Miss couldn’t fly last night because their flight staff timed out during the ground stops.
I’m not sure why they didn’t think of that and look for new flight staff during the stoppage.
Memphis and Birmingham at within 2 hours, and would’ve had more personnel options than Tupelo…staff could’ve travelled in during the stoppage or the team could’ve travelled to either place to fly from.
Or are there factors I haven’t considered?

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.
