Saturday's Oklahoma-Tulane college football game has been moved from New Orleans to Oklahoma due to the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, both schools announced on Monday.
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 before traveling to Oklahoma. Saturday's game is slated for noon ET.
"In this extraordinarily difficult moment for the people of Louisiana, we want to do our small part by assisting Tulane with the game this weekend," said Oklahoma president Joseph Harroz Jr in a statement.
