While the sport of college football is ever-changing, especially in the NIL and transfer portal era, Saturdays still deliver their customary theater. But that reliable spectacle isn’t even a guarantee for some fan bases this week.

Several teams are in flight limbo after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a nationwide ground stop for all airports on Friday. It was put into place, according to ABC News, because of a communication issue affecting air traffic control.

Teams in flight limbo:
Big 12: Baylor, Kansas State, Utah and Arizona State
SEC: Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas
ACC: All visiting teams have reached their destinations.
Big Ten: Minnesota, Purdue and Washington
ALSO confirmed in limbo -- Oregon State, Wyoming and North Texas. https://t.co/90SdwxZvmW
