"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!!"

Glad bob stoops chimed in. Kinda surprised he was in the room during the conversations between the SEC, Ole Miss and OU but glad to hear his take nonetheless

Wow… so Sankey told OU that the game has to either be played on Sunday or you forfeit the game? So it’s not an Ole Miss or OU problem, it’s a governing body problem. I’m curious as to why this game specifically since everybody else is playing.

FAU flying +1100 miles to Tulsa
Arizona St. flying +1800 miles to UCF

Ole Miss can't figure out flying 550 miles to OU

Easy for me to say, but I would have taken the forfeit. No way I’m complying with that ridiculousness. I think you’d find support in the league.

North Dakota State flew to Hawaii to play today.

Extra rest for the Black Bear Landshark Rebels going into their bye week, and taking away an Oklahoma night game and throwing the logistics wrench into the OU gears. SMH.

The SEC is like a dead fish, rotting from the head down.

The rest of the SEC needs to join OU and LSU on the Fire Sankey! bandwagon.

Well it just shows how crooked the sec office is. It's like the refs protecting the top teams, he is not going punish a ranked team when he could hand them a win.

It's all about money and playoff spots.

But he hasn't done anything good for the SEC. It has been embarrassed in the postseason using his ways.

"I don’t know. They’ll probably send their carnival barker out there to accuse me of pandering again. And candidly, I don’t care. My job and my duty is to our players, our university, and our fan base. If they don’t like the way we handle our business, I just don’t much care about that."

What, and mess with his golden child Ole Piss? Hell, he could have threatened to throw them out of the SEC when OM ignored and NCAA ruling and got a TRO to play their 6th year wonder boy QB, but he only does shite like that to LSU...Well, and now OU. Sankey smells his own underwear

If this idiotic decision doesn’t get Greg Sankey fired, I’m guessing he must have pictures of somebody.

The onus should have been on OM. I don’t agree with how the conference handled this situation.

Apologies for not seeing it quicker. And for any aspersions I might have cast toward LSU. I get it now.

The part that gets me is the stadium staff, security, traffic personnel and everyone else that makes the game possible.

None of those volunteered or were scheduled to work Sunday.

I wonder how shitty the service and overall running of the game will be. I imagine half or more had plans on Sunday that didn’t involve working their Saturday job
