Oklahoma athletic director Roger Denny sharply criticized the SEC and Ole Miss after the Sooners' home game against Ole Miss was moved to Sunday following Friday's nationwide FAA ground stop. Denny called the decision "inexplicable" and lodged a strong objection, while Ole Miss defended its travel efforts. Central Oklahoma's athletic director trolled Ole Miss by offering its fans free admission to a Division II game. The NFL also reassigned backup referees to Sunday games within driving distance to avoid further travel problems from the ground stop.
