FAA ground stop disrupting air travel for college football teams
ESPN reports that the FAA's nationwide ground stop on 13 November 2026, its first since January 2023 and caused by a telecommunications outage at regional air traffic control centers, disrupted travel for numerous college football teams ahead of that weekend's games. Nine Power 4 teams were still waiting to depart, while Auburn, North Texas, and Purdue turned to buses, Missouri had already arrived, and reporters expect delays could affect top games and scramble officiating crews.
