With the scheduling of the Oklahoma football and Ole Miss Rebels matchup being a talking point in the sports world, as the unranked Sooners got the 24-17 win over the No. 19 Rebels, head coach Brent Venables didn't hold back after the contest. As the Oklahoma football team upset Ole Miss, Venables would speak further on the decision to push the game from Saturday to Sunday afternoon.
Even after getting the win, Venables had frustrations about how the scheduling of the game went down. As the contest was moved a day after the Rebels got their travel halted after the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) nationwide ground stop of airplanes that held up thousands of flights on Friday, Oklahoma has questioned the travel plans of their opponents.
Venables would say that the situation has a “layer of insensitivity” regarding the treatment of the Sooners fans.
