Updated college football schedule with Ole Miss-Oklahoma and other games affected by FAA flight shutdown

The FAA’s nationwide ban on all flights Friday caused several college football schedule games this weekend to adjust their start times to account for travel delays.

A total of eight games have had their start times changed so far, including the Mississippi-Oklahoma game that was scheduled for Saturday at 4:15 p.m. ET and will now be played Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

Here is the full list of games impacted by the changes and new start times:

Updated Saturday program

Updated Sunday program

To account for the fact that Oklahoma is not playing today, Central Oklahoma athletic director Stan Wagnon announced that fans with a ticket to the Rebels-Sooners game can present it to receive free admission to the Bronchos’ home football game against Missouri Western at 1 p.m. ET and/or the men’s basketball game against Oklahoma Christian at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The FAA announced a nationwide ground shutdown around 4 p.m. ET Friday afternoon due to safety concerns related to a telecommunications outage. The shutdown was lifted about four hours later, but the impact on travel remains significant.

More than 15,000 flights in the United States have been delayed or canceled, and nearly 3,000 flights scheduled for Saturday are also believed to be affected.

College football teams playing road games will typically travel the day before the game. The SEC announced that the charter company Ole Miss has an agreement with could not accommodate a late night departure Friday, so the team will not leave for Norman until Saturday afternoon.

Utah was also unable to travel Friday and will leave for Tucson Saturday morning, but the game will still be played today, just three hours later than originally scheduled.

Kansas vs. West Virginia is the only game to have its start time moved up from 5:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET since the Jayhawks had already arrived in West Virginia at the time of the stoppage. The game will fill an open time slot on ESPN2.
