Oregon State among football teams impacted by FAA ground stop

Oregon State is among the college football teams impacted by the nationwide ground stop of departing flights. The Beavers were scheduled to fly to Idaho at 3:20 p.m. PT. With the ground stop lifted, OSU boarded buses for Eugene airport and an OSU spokesman said the team plane will take off Friday night from Eugene to Boise. As of 6:15 p.m., there is no change to the time of Saturday’s game (3 p.m. PT, USA). Besides football, OSU men’s soccer is scheduled to host San Diego State in the Pac-12 tournament championship on Saturday. SDSU arrived prior to the ground stop. OSU women’s basketball is not scheduled to leave for Arizona until Saturday afternoon. The Michigan-Oregon football game is still scheduled for 12:30 p.m. at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. Michigan flew into Eugene on Thursday night and avoided the ground stop.
