Rice return flight from North Texas. I think this is the second time they have either bussed/gone commercial going out, and flown a charter coming back home:

Not uncommon in the mid-major conferences, especially going within the same state or neighboring states (Texas & Oklahoma for example). In my years working with the Tulsa football team we flew commercial to Dallas or Houston, then charter back. The equipment goes by truck typically. Tulsa flew commercial to play UNM then chartered SWA back at least once. It is usually only done on non-stop flights though.

I was looking for that one, but they flew kind of late, so I did not see it earlier. Great find!

Well isn’t this interesting! Northern Iowa’s flight to Missouri State was diverted to KMCI. Wonder why?

Here is the ongoing leg to KSGF:

flightaware.com/live/flight/WAL3 … /KMCI/KSGF

EDIT - read somewhere that the diversion was weather-related. Didn’t see any storms on the radar last night, but I wonder if perhaps the fog was below minimums at KSGF. Bummer!
