Ole Miss AD rules out scheduling Memphis football games soon

Summary

On September 14, Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter stated there are no current plans to schedule future football games against Memphis. The last matchup occurred in 2019, with Memphis securing the win. Carter explained that Ole Miss's schedule is solid for the next few years, complicating future meetings. Recent changes in the SEC, including a move to nine conference games, impact nonconference scheduling for both teams. Memphis is seeking to fill its future schedule but lacks power conference opponents for 2026 and 2027. They lost a game with Mississippi State planned for 2028 and are exploring other scheduling options with Group of Six teams.
