航班受阻后,SEC将奥莱密西西比大学客场对阵俄克拉荷马大学的比赛改至星期日中午。俄克拉荷马大学称,联盟警告若拒绝安排将被判弃权,而对球迷的承诺援助措施仍未明确。

全国航班停飞结束后,如果一支橄榄球队的出行计划仍无法恢复,谁来承担这场 disruption 的后果?对于俄克拉荷马大学对阵奥莱密西西比大学的比赛,SEC给出的答案是改到新的比赛日,并要求主队学校接受安排。

俄克拉荷马大学将于11月15日星期日中部时间中午在诺曼主场迎战排名第19的奥莱密西西比大学,而不是原定的星期六下午。体育主管罗杰·丹尼表示,SEC专员格雷格·桑基不顾俄克拉荷马大学的强烈反对,下令更改赛程;随后警告称,若不按指定时间比赛,俄克拉荷马大学将被判弃权。俄克拉荷马大学表示会参赛。在此事中,遵从安排并不代表认同。⁠4⁠3

对支持者来说,眼下的问题并不像体育主管与专员之间的争议那么抽象。一趟星期六的橄榄球之旅变成了星期日的安排。俄克拉荷马大学承诺公布比赛安排和球迷感谢措施,但现有公告尚未说明球迷会得到哪些实际帮助。⁠3⁠4

中部时间下午3:15原定开球时间:11月14日星期六 4
中部时间中午调整后开球时间:11月15日星期日 4

获准飞行仍然不够

11月14日,我们报道了全国范围的停飞令解除后航班陆续恢复,但飞机、机组人员和乘客仍未归位。那篇报道关注的是航空运输复航进展不一的情况,并非这场橄榄球比赛的延期。新的后果是SEC调整了周末赛程:航班限制已经结束,但奥莱密西西比大学仍无法恢复原定于星期五晚间从密西西比州牛津出发前往俄克拉荷马州的行程。

出行受阻分为两个不同阶段。首先,根据《达拉斯新闻》和News 9刊载的SEC声明,美国联邦航空管理局实施的全国停飞令导致奥莱密西西比大学星期五晚间无法从牛津起飞。俄克拉荷马大学的官方公告称,限制于11月13日星期五中部时间晚上7:15解除。⁠1⁠3⁠4

随后出现了第二个障碍。SEC称,与奥莱密西西比大学签约的包机公司无法在限制解除后安排深夜起飞。修订后的计划是让叛军队于星期六下午出发。这只是预定出发时间,并不能证明球队已经起飞或抵达俄克拉荷马州。⁠1⁠3

这一区别很重要。联盟并非因为全国停飞令仍在生效而调整比赛,而是在停飞结束、包机随后受限,导致客队无法按原定行程出发之后才作出调整。空域重新开放本身并不会带来可用航班。

丹尼称,俄克拉荷马大学一得知出行问题,就开始与奥莱密西西比大学和联盟负责人沟通。他的声明承认,校方被告知叛军队已想尽一切办法前往诺曼参加星期六的比赛。但他把奥莱密西西比大学与其他找到办法参赛的球队作比较,对最终决定提出质疑。⁠3

这一论点背后有一个具体例子,但它并不能证明丹尼最宽泛的说法。《达拉斯新闻》报道称,贝勒大学安排了星期六早上的出行,其对阵杨百翰大学的比赛也从下午2:30改到下午6:00。丹尼的说法更进一步,称其他所有客场球队都找到了办法。现有报道并未证实这种全国范围的比较,也没有说明奥莱密西西比大学是否有可行的同类替代方案。⁠1⁠3

这是指令,而非协商达成的妥协

俄克拉荷马大学反对的既是应对方式,也是这次赛程变动本身。丹尼称,在桑基敲定星期日开球时间之前,他与联盟办公室进行了多次沟通。他说,之后的进一步讨论中,对方警告了俄克拉荷马大学若拒绝会有什么后果。⁠3

“经过持续讨论,他进一步告知我们,如果我们未能在指定时间于星期日比赛,将被判弃权。”

罗杰·丹尼 3

这是丹尼对桑基所作警告的说法,并非专员本人公开发表的直接引语,也不是俄克拉荷马大学已经弃权的公告。实际结果是比赛改期,而俄克拉荷马大学承诺将参赛。丹尼称,校方有义务遵从这一指令,但仍坚信联盟作出了错误决定。⁠3

SEC对出行问题的解释说明了原计划为何无法执行,但仅凭这一点,无法判定星期日是否是最公平的替代方案。同样,俄克拉荷马大学的愤怒也不能证明当时存在其他可行的航班或开球安排。现有证据支持一个更有限的结论:联盟选定星期日,俄克拉荷马大学则称,抵制安排可能招致的后果令其别无可接受的选择。

对球迷而言,这一决定将负担转移到已经作出的安排上。丹尼特别提到与星期六比赛相关的出行、住宿和个人计划,称这次变动造成了不必要的干扰和困难。目前没有经过核实的受影响人数或经济损失估算。⁠3

俄克拉荷马大学表示,将于11月14日星期六公布星期日比赛的具体安排以及球迷感谢措施。现有公告尚未说明详情;这些公告并未确立退款政策、报销承诺,也未公布门票、停车和入场安排的调整。电视转播信息也尚未确定。球迷不应把感谢承诺误认为明确的补救措施。⁠4⁠3

目前确定的是:比赛将于星期日在诺曼举行,中部时间中午开球,即东部时间下午1点。俄克拉荷马大学将在自己反对的赛程下登场。仍有待说明的是,校方将如何帮助那些被要求一同调整周末安排的支持者。⁠4⁠3

播出原貌
  1. The Sooners will play a day later because their visiting opponent couldn't fly.
  2. Oklahoma will host No. 19 Ole Miss at noon Sunday. Athletic director Roger Denny says the conference warned that refusing to play then would mean a forfeit.
  3. On November 14, we reported that departures were resuming after the nationwide ground stop, with aircraft, crews and passengers still displaced. Now that disruption has changed a football weekend. What help will fans get as Oklahoma prepares for a schedule it opposed?
  4. Ole Miss couldn't leave Oxford, Mississippi, for its planned Friday-night trip to Norman, Oklahoma. The Southeastern Conference says the Federal Aviation Administration's nationwide ground stop blocked that departure. But permission to fly again didn't give the Rebels a workable flight.
  5. The interruption left the teams facing a different game day even after the flight restriction ended. Oklahoma remains the host, and the matchup stays in Norman. The conference changed the kickoff overnight, replacing the Saturday afternoon game with a Sunday noon start.
  6. Fans had planned around Saturday, November 14, at 3:15 p.m. Central. The replacement is Sunday, November 15, at noon Central. That moves the game into another day and gives supporters an earlier kickoff to fit around their other commitments.
  7. Oklahoma tried to keep the Saturday game. Denny says his staff began talking with Ole Miss and conference leaders as soon as they learned about the travel trouble. He says Oklahoma was told the Rebels had explored every avenue to get there and play as planned.
  8. The ground stop ended at 7:15 p.m. Central Friday. The SEC says Ole Miss's charter company then couldn't accommodate a late-night departure. Lifting the restriction reopened the possibility of flying, but the Rebels still couldn't restore their original travel schedule.
  9. The revised plan called for Ole Miss to depart Saturday afternoon. That's the scheduled departure; the team hasn't been confirmed as having flown or arrived. The conference's explanation puts the remaining obstacle with charter availability after the nationwide restriction had already ended.
  10. Subscribe to this channel as we follow Oklahoma's revised game arrangements and the promised help for fans.
  11. Roger Denny says commissioner Greg Sankey ordered the move over Oklahoma's strong objection. Denny describes multiple conversations with the league office before the decision, followed by further discussions about what would happen if Oklahoma refused to play at the directed time.
  12. Denny argued that other teams had found ways to travel and compete Saturday. Baylor, for example, arranged Saturday-morning travel, and its game against BYU moved from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Denny went further, saying every other traveling team had found a solution. That's his comparison.
  13. Denny says Sankey told Oklahoma that failing to play Sunday at the directed time would result in a forfeit. Oklahoma will play. Denny says the school is obligated to follow the directive, while still believing the conference reached the wrong outcome.
  14. Denny called the decision unfair to Oklahoma's athletes, the institution and its supporters. He said the school had been given no other choice, and promised to keep advocating for its student-athletes and fans. Oklahoma's objection hasn't changed the conference's order.
  15. Fans have travel, accommodation and personal plans tied to the Saturday game. Denny says moving it creates unnecessary disruption and hardship. Those commitments now have to fit a Sunday noon kickoff, and Oklahoma has promised game logistics and fan-appreciation measures.
  16. Oklahoma said it would release that information Saturday, November 14. It hasn't detailed the measures yet, so fans are still waiting to learn what practical help they'll receive. The university's announcement also leaves the television assignment undetermined for the revised kickoff.
