According to Fox News, Texas, Tennessee, Utah and other top college football programs were grounded Friday as a Federal Aviation Administration ground stop left teams stranded before Saturday's games. The outlet's summary refers to "stranded teams" but does not give a count of the programs affected.
The Hill reported that the nationwide ground stop, issued by the FAA Friday afternoon, affected travel plans for college football teams scheduled to fly to their destinations. Its headline described the teams as "in flight limbo" because of the ground stop. The story is credited to Suryatapa Chakraborty.
The Hill's summary names four Big 12 Conference schools among those affected: Baylor University, Kansas State University, the University of Utah and Arizona State University. It also says three schools in the Big Ten were affected, but the available text breaks off before naming them.
The two reports differ on which teams were affected. Fox News named Texas and Tennessee, which do not appear in the portion of The Hill's summary available for review. The Hill named Baylor, Kansas State and Arizona State, which do not appear in Fox News's summary. Utah is the only school named in both.
Both summaries place the disruption on Friday, before games scheduled for Saturday. Neither states what caused the ground stop, how long it lasted, or whether the affected teams had reached their destinations by the time of publication.
