The Southeastern Conference has moved the game between No. 19 Mississippi, known as Ole Miss, and Oklahoma to Sunday, according to ABC News. The network reported that the conference announced Mississippi's game at Oklahoma will be "delayed to Sunday," and its headline said the Sooners' athletic director had ripped the decision by Greg Sankey, the SEC commissioner.
Fox News reported that Oklahoma athletic director Roger Denny said Sankey forced the Sooners to play Sunday or forfeit after Ole Miss could not fly to Norman. The outlet ran its report under the headline "Play Sunday or forfeit," and its headline also referred to an FAA scheduling decision.
Fox News's summary did not describe the flight problem in further detail. ABC News's summary did not give a reason for the change. Neither summary said whether the game would be played on Sunday as scheduled or whether a forfeit would be recorded.
The two outlets describe the dispute from different sides. ABC News reported the conference's announcement, while Fox News reported Denny's account of how the decision was reached. Neither summary reviewed here includes a response from Sankey or the conference beyond the announcement itself.
Both reports portray the matter as a disagreement between Oklahoma and the conference over the schedule. Neither source provides further information on the timing of any later steps, and no additional details beyond these two reports are available in the material reviewed for this story.
