Source: Hurricane Ida forces cancellation of Oklahoma-Tulane football game in New Orleans; Officials discussing contingency plan

The Oklahoma-Tulane game set for Saturday will not be played in New Orleans due to the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, sources told ESPN.

Tulane was set to host No. 2 Oklahoma on campus at Yulman Stadium. A shelter-in-place order for Tulane's campus remained Monday morning as the university's damage assessment and recovery team began its preliminary assessment.

The Green Wave football team has relocated to Birmingham, Alabama, where it will practice throughout the week.

Tulane has contingency plans to play the game at Oklahoma, a source said, and several media reports stated that the game would be moved.
