{"id":2463,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/2463","headline":"Oklahoma AD rips SEC after Ole Miss game pushed to Sunday","dek":"A nationwide FAA ground stop kept Ole Miss from reaching Oklahoma City in time to kick off Saturday, forcing the SEC to move the game to Sunday under threat of forfeit.","body":"Oklahoma was supposed to host Ole Miss on Saturday at 3:15 p.m. Central Time, but the FAA's nationwide ground stop on Friday afternoon left Ole Miss unable to find accommodations through its contracted charter company, and the Rebels couldn't fly to Oklahoma City until Saturday. The SEC announced at 12:12 a.m. that the game would shift to Sunday at Noon Central, making Oklahoma and Ole Miss the first FBS matchup pushed to another day because of the disruption.\n\nOklahoma athletic director Roger Denny was not having it. He released a statement late Friday night calling the move unfair to the Sooners, their institution and their fans, saying \"isn't fair to our athlete, our institution or to Sooner Nation. But we've been given no other choice.\" Denny said SEC commissioner Greg Sankey told him that Oklahoma would forfeit if it refused to play Sunday instead.\n\nIn a Saturday interview with On3, Denny went further, calling the SEC's decision inexplicable. His frustration centers on the logistics of the reschedule and what it means for fans who had already planned to attend or watch on Saturday. The game's television coverage remained unsettled.","published_at":"2026-11-14T19:33:02.214278+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Paul Finebaum eviscerates Oklahoma AD, defends SEC over Ole Miss postponement","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/league-networks/paul-finebaum-eviscerates-oklahoma-ad-defends-sec-postponement.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Oklahoma AD says SEC 'inexplicably' moved Ole Miss to Sunday because of FAA's nationwide ground stoppage","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/article/oklahoma-ad-says-sec-inexplicably-moved-ole-miss-to-sunday-because-of-faas-nationwide-ground-stoppage-194625668.html"},{"outlet":"Front Office Sports","publisher":"Front Office Sports","title":"Ole Miss–Oklahoma Moved to Sunday, Sooners AD: Decision ‘Isn’t Fair’","url":"https://frontofficesports.com/article/ole-miss-oklahoma-moved-to-sunday-sooners-ad-decision-isnt-fair/"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Oklahoma AD furious with SEC after postponing Ole Miss showdown to Sunday: ‘Wrong outcome’","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/14/sports/oklahoma-ad-roger-denny-furious-with-sec-after-postponing-ole-miss-game-to-sunday/"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Oklahoma AD Roger Denny blasts SEC after game vs. Ole Miss pushed to Sunday under threat of forfeit","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/oklahoma-ad-roger-denny-blasts-sec-ole-miss-sunday-faa-groundstop/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Oklahoma football rips Ole Miss, SEC after game postponed due to travel delays","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/oklahoma-football-rips-ole-miss-130634890.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Oklahoma furious over Ole Miss game move to Sunday; SEC threatens forfeit","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/oklahoma-fought-sec-ole-miss-132224532.html"},{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Oklahoma AD blasts decision to move Ole Miss game to Sunday after nationwide flight chaos","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/oklahoma-ole-miss-sunday-flight-chaos.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"'This decision isn't fair': Oklahoma opposes moving Ole Miss game to Sunday","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/decision-isnt-fair-oklahoma-opposes-140039064.html"},{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Full list of college football games moved due to FAA ground stop","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/full-list-games-moved-ground-stop.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Full list of college football games moved due to FAA ground stop","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/full-list-college-football-games-143048359.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Oklahoma AD rips 'wrong outcome' in moving Ole Miss game to Sunday","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/oklahoma-ad-rips-wrong-outcome-143939832.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ole Miss–Oklahoma Moved to Sunday, Sooners AD: Decision ‘Isn’t Fair’","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ole-miss-oklahoma-moved-sunday-151622584.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Oklahoma AD calls out SEC, 'carnival barker' Finebaum after Ole Miss game rescheduled","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/oklahoma-ad-calls-sec-carnival-191158518.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"'Against the code of the SEC': Paul Finebaum rips Oklahoma AD","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/against-code-sec-paul-finebaum-200010199.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://frontofficesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/2026-11-02T203301Z_1961766299_MT1USATODAY30256576_RTRMADP_3_AN-OKLAHOMA-FOOTBALL-HELMET-IS-PICTURED-DURING-A-COLLEGE-scaled-e1794669307773.jpg?quality=80&w=1024","credit":"Front Office Sports","width":1024},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
