The Federal Aviation Administration ordered a nationwide ground stop early Saturday, halting departures across the country. The Clarion-Ledger and Yahoo Sports first reported that the Ole Miss football team's charter to Norman, Oklahoma, was grounded, prompting the SEC to move the Rebels' game against the Sooners from Saturday to Sunday. The Oklahoman confirmed the flight was on hold and provided ongoing travel updates.
Later reporting from Knoxville News Sentinel and WATE 6 On Your Side detailed the impact on Tennessee, where travelers at McGhee Tyson Airport were left in limbo. WATE confirmed the Volunteers eventually boarded their flight to College Station for their matchup against Texas A&M after the ground stop was lifted. WAFB noted the Texas Longhorns were also awaiting a flight to Baton Rouge, though their opponent is not specified in the coverage.
No outlet has explained the reason for the FAA ground stop, and the headlines do not state whether the Texas A&M-Tennessee game will kick off on schedule. The Ole Miss-Oklahoma move to Sunday is the only confirmed schedule change.
