Oklahomans should be embarrassed by Roger Denny. The Sooners Athletic Director calling out the SEC in the middle of a national crisis isa fireable offense. People should be trying to come together and help one another and this guy is literally just looking out for himself and Oklahoma. Do better. Much better. Completely tone deaf.

Statement from Ole Miss Athletics Like the rest of the nation, we faced unprecedented challenges with Friday’s ground stoppage. As we worked through the travel issues and uncertainty surrounding the situation in real time, the goal was always to fly to Norman Friday night and play the game Saturday. After the stoppage was lifted at 7:30 p.m., we began preparing the team for departure before our charter broker, Air Planning, informed us that JetBlue could not fly us Friday night. At that hour, due to the time required to rescreen the party and travel to the Tupelo airport, the crew’s duty time would have expired prior to departure. There were no other flight options at that point, and we determined it was too late to put our student-athletes on a bus trip of eight or more hours. In addition, the flight crew’s duty time restrictions prevented us from being able to fly out until Saturday afternoon at the earliest. We understand other SEC teams were able to keep their games on Saturday, with those visiting teams having available Friday charters or ability to bus to their game in four hours. We did not have those advantages. We regret that the game had to be moved to Sunday, but we took every reasonable action in our power to avoid this scenario. The ground stoppage has been an unfortunate ordeal for all of us, and we are grateful that a solution was reached to play our game.

Tennessee went through straight up hell to get to College Station.

OU has Wrestling, Volleyball and Women’s Basketball on Campus Sunday Nov 15. @ESPNDari @GregSankey @OU_WBBall at LNC and @OU_Volleyball at the Field House. Zero thought or consideration was given. @OU_Football @OU_Wrestling Friendly reminder look at @OleMissFB next game

Paul Finebaum: "I understand the frustration, and none of us really know what happened to Ole Miss... What I don't think is correct is [Oklahoma AD Roger Denny] pathetically pandering to his fanbase at midnight to try to cover up whatever..."

This decision by Greg Sankey is absolutely wrong. All of the power 4 teams found a way to make it to their games, but Ole Miss wouldn't 🤔 ASU is flying across country to UCF this AM to play today. Greg Sankey instead of telling OU they would forfeit if they didn't change the day, he could have told Ole Miss they will forfeit if they didn't find a way to Norman even if game is delayed. But instead he didn't!!
