The decision to reschedule the match for 4 PM Eastern Time (3 PM Central) the following day was reached after extensive discussions involving Sugar Bowl officials, college football playoffs representatives, the FBI, and the City of New Orleans. The urgency of the timing was compounded by the need for the winning team to prepare for the Orange Bowl scheduled for the following week. This necessitated a prompt adjustment in the game schedule while keeping in mind the complexities surrounding the tragic event.
