"Forfeit Policy. A team that is unable to compete in a regular season Conference contest due to the unavailability of
participants (e.g. COVID-19, injuries, etc.), shall be deemed to have forfeit the contest and will be assigned a loss in
the respective Conference standings. An opposing team that is ready to play shall be credited with a win, and both
teams will be deemed to have completed the contest in the standings. If both (or multiple) teams are unable to compete
due to the unavailability of participants (e.g. COVID-19, injuries, etc.), all unavailable teams shall be deemed to have
forfeit and shall be assigned a loss and be considered to have played in the standings. The Commissioner may declare
any contest as a “no contest” if extraordinary circumstances warrant at his/her discretion. Tie-breaker procedures
specific to each sport shall apply in determining Conference champions, division champions, and/or seeding in
Conference championship events. [Adopted: 8/17/22]"

Is that the policy that applies to FAA grounding flights?

Sankey didn’t want to get dragged into a local backwoods court by TROle Miss so he caved

So long as the busses have fuel, I don't understand why the game had to be moved.
Equipment gets bussed to gamesites all the time.

How’s it feel having an incapable AD that has to cry to Stankey constantly to get him to do something.

So we have a full slate of Sunday morning games?

And that possibility wasn’t discussed when OU, Sankey, and Ole Miss were coordinating about when to start the game? The SEC said that it would make OU forfeit if they didn’t move the game to Sunday and you believe that bussing the team to Norman wasn’t discussed?

“extraordinary circumstances”
Hurricanes are much more common by a long shot than national ground stops…you guys know this qualifies as an extraordinary circumstance.

That is threatening the wrong team with punishment for not getting their shite together.
You obviously disagree.
But you have 15 other conference members knowing you are a dumbass on this one.

So the SEC is threatening OU with a forfeit because we’re just that powerful? We get to be the only Sunday game because we just wanted to be lazy and we have Sankey as our attack dog?

All the old piss fans are ignoring the fact that old piss could've all rode on a bus. They have no argument against it because it makes complete sense.

My question is this: they were in direct communication the entire time. Why did Sankey side with us over OU when apparently everyone else knows we were in the wrong?

When Georgia busses overnight to play an SEC opponent, then you’ll have a point.

There is about 100 year history of teams bussing to football games.
Including the Bulldawgs.

I'd settle for Sankey refunding me the price of my ticket since I cannot attend the game now...

Does OU see a forfeit as their only chance to win this game? My goodness have some self respect.

If it applies to a virus why wouldn’t it apply to the FAA?

I think that’s very fair. Sucks arse for OU fans. If the roles were reversed, I’d be angry with the SEC and FAA. I’m just not sure what we could’ve done. Folks are proposing obvious solutions that were definitely explored.

Because it’s an injury report issue rather than a logistical one.

An 8.5 hour overnight bus ride on zero notice the night before the game?
Show me when that happened with any team.
