Sources: Tulane Relocates Season-Opener After Hurricane Ida Hits Louisiana

Tulane's season-opener against Oklahoma in New Orleans has been relocated to Norman, Okla. due to Hurricane Ida's impact, sources told Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger.

The Green Wave was scheduled to host the Sooners on Saturday at noon ET but will instead start their season on the road. The day and kick-off time remain the same.

Monday morning, Tulane officials told Sports Illustrated there was no chance the game would be played in New Orleans. Athletic director Troy Dannen then told Sports Illustrated that contingencies were being made and the game could possibly be played in Norman before the eventual decision.
