OU football: SEC goes to conference-only schedule, Sooners game vs. Tennessee off

NORMAN — OU's football schedule took its first hit Thursday.

The SEC voted to move to a conference-only schedule for 2020, starting no earlier than Sept. 26, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

That decision eliminates the Sooners' scheduled Sept. 12 home game against Tennessee.

The game was part of a two-game home-and-home series between the Sooners and Volunteers. Tennessee is schedule to host OU in 2024.

It might be difficult to reschedule the game for awhile, barring a change in scheduling.

The Sooners have non-conference Power 5 games booked for every season through 2033, though they could opt to play two such games.
