All flights across the U.S. have been, and still are, on the ground after the FAA called for a nationwide grounding. While it's a situation that has been given much clarity, the problem may affect several college football games on Saturday. Several programs, including the Texas Longhorns, Tennessee Volunteers, and Utah Utes, have either had their travel halted or have been forced to find an alternative mode of transportation.
As of 5:55 p.m. EST, 12 teams' flights were announced grounded before they could take off, according to On3 Sports. Additionally, 12 teams managed to land at their destinations, while three programs decided to take a bus to their destinations instead. It was also said that, as of the time of the report, the USC Trojans are still in the air and are still scheduled to take on the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday.
