From: FAA grounds all flights at US airports, citing 'extraordinary circumstances'

Arizona State leaves its plane and plans Saturday morning flight, ESPN reports

Arizona State has left its plane and now plans to fly to Orlando on Saturday morning for a 3.30pm ET game against UCF, sources have told ESPN.

ESPN says it has confirmed that Oregon State, due to play at Boise State at 6pm ET on Saturday 14 November, had not left for Idaho. It reports that Wyoming was on a flight that was grounded.

ESPN lists three games as potentially affected: Tennessee at Texas A&M (3pm ET), Texas at LSU (7.30pm ET) and Utah at Arizona (7.30pm ET). Texas had boarded its plane in Austin for Baton Rouge before the stop, as reported earlier.

Match officials are also affected. A Big Ten spokesman told ESPN that all the league's officials for its eight Saturday games are already on site. Another source told ESPN that some officials scheduled for ACC games are grounded, but that the league can use crews of seven if necessary.

The ACC told ESPN that all its visiting teams reached Saturday's destinations before the FAA issued the ground stop.

These reports have not been independently checked.
