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

Big 12 evaluating changes to Saturday's football schedule, CNN reports

The Big 12 Conference says it is "evaluating potential changes to Saturday's football schedule" because of the FAA ground stop, according to a statement reported by CNN.

CNN reports that the Big 12 said it will keep monitoring travel disruptions with its member institutions and will give an update on Saturday's games.

The SEC said it is "aware" of the ground stop and is in close communication with its member institutions, according to CNN.

Citing ESPN's Pete Thamel, CNN says No. 6 Texas, No. 8 Tennessee and No. 19 Ole Miss have flight issues, as do many Big 12 and Big Ten teams.

The NFL said all its teams are scheduled to travel on Saturday, CNN reports. It adds that the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots are already in Munich ahead of Sunday's game at the Allianz Arena.

CNN also reports that five NBA games and 14 NHL games are scheduled for Saturday.

These reports have not been independently checked.
