shite happens. Ole Miss has a complicated airport situation similar to Penn State’s, and that involves human beings with human lives who have to be hired and paid to fly the planes. If they’re unavailable at a certain time, then you have to wait until they’re available.
Unless somebody has proof that Ole Miss intentionally dragged arse on this, the verdict is NOT GUILTY.
At least Minnesota was able to circumnavigate the issues and make it to Happy Valley.

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.
Exactly.
Ole Miss would have shown up and been ready to play. Oklahoma would not have been able to play due to the fact that their players were unavailable. The fact that they were unavailable because their AD wouldn't let them play is irrelevant.
Go back and look up what "etc." means. It covers a lot...pretty much whatever the commissioner decides.

An 8.5 hour overnight bus ride on zero notice the night before the game?
Show me when that happened with any team.
People suggesting that Ole Miss should have taken the bus are just fricking retarded. Or maybe they just hate Ole Miss.

A less than 5 hour delay of flights does not equal an "extraordinary circumstance" as witnessed to by every other team showing up today at their appointed time to play. Flight delays happen all the time.
Our flight delay was not 5 hours. It caused our delay to be closer to 17 hours due to flight crews.
The dumbass who posted that must think your roster of players could have just shown up at the airport and bought tickets on a commercial flight to Norman.

Pilots that the charter company would have actually let fly their plane.
Maybe people suggesting it was just a five hour delay aren't really morons. Maybe they have rarely flown and have little experience with our air transportation system. 5 hour delay? I have friends coming to visit me who were actually on their Lufthansa flight from Atlanta to Frankfurt when the ground stop hit 10 minutes before takeoff. Fast forward to when the ground stop was lifted. Their flight was actually canceled. Not delayed...canceled. Then their rebooked flight from Atlanta to Heathrow was also canceled. When the ground stop was lifted, there was a massive number of flights that had to be rescheduled. It's a helluva lot of traffic. Pull up the FightAware app sometime and just look at how many planes are in the sky over the US at any time under normal circumstances. Then factor in 4 or 5 hours worth of delayed flights. Then during the delay, pilots time out. This is a charter company, not United that may have a couple of pilots they can swap in.

Flights were stopped for 4 hours. That's all. No excuse to not fly or bus to Oklahoma. Should be a forfeit on Ole Piss

OU should have filed an injunction against the SEC to follow their own rules.

1000% correct. Ole miss could have had a backup plan or explored it but they didn’t want to be put out at all of their normal walkthrough away game process, that’s all this is and they claimed there was nothing they could do which is absolute bs
Posted on 11/14/26 at 12:55 pm to Mempho
Somehow your charter only had one flight crew in the entire state? Not a single crew couldn’t have been found to bus in before the 17 hour delay? This is complete bs

Ole Miss is a charity case program

Well said and 100% accurate too.

They had options. They are a few hours from other major airports, they could have brought other flight crews in. They sat on their hands and didn’t want to be flexible or entertain any solutions as it would have been a disadvantage to their team period.
That’s all this is. Ole miss ad pleaded his hands were tied and didn’t want to make an uncomfortable decision to everyone involved with his team

To refute it you need a list of available pilots and flight attendants within a 10 hour drive of Oxford which I guarantee they exist as well as an available flight at a larger airport which ole miss could pay for. They just didn’t want to

You mean they are picking and choosing where to apply the rules?

The 5 hour delay is all that you had. Choosing a company that couldn’t prioritize you caused you the other 12 hrs. Everyone else made it.
This is poor gamesmanship and everyone knows it. Ole Miss gains a huge advantage over a Sunday game in Norman. They will be going from a full crowd of rowdy fans to probably a half empty stadium.
Florida did this to LSU years ago because of a predicted hurricane and several injuries.
The poor gamesmanship should be penalized.
Sankey has an interest in Ole Miss winning out as it boost playoff prospect teams.

Oklahoma is used to being able to take all situations and use them to their competitive advantage. That’s the main thing. This is their narcissism being challenged by reality.
