The OPERA paper gives a (v-c)/c = 2.48 (± 0.28 (stat.) ± 0.30 (sys.)) ×10^(-5).

On the contrary the neutrinos (10 MeV neutrinos arrival times compared
to the optical observations) emitted by the SN1987A gave (v-c)/c < 2×10^(-9).

Now If OPERA results were taken as true, the neutrinos would
lead the gamma flux by on the order of 1 e^(10) seconds for SN1987A.
