Michigan Wolverines arrive in Eugene before FAA grounding

It's shaping up to be another big Saturday in college football, including at Autzen Stadium when the No. 16 Oregon Ducks host the Michigan Wolverines.

As of now, that game is scheduled to proceed with kickoff at 12:30 p.m. PST, despite some of the travel issues other programs are facing across the country. The FAA issued a nationwide ground stop on Friday, causing trouble for some teams trying to reach their game-day locations, some of which, because of conference realignment, are multiple states apart.

Michigan won't be affected, however, as the team arrived in Eugene on Thursday before the nationwide grounding of flights, according to multiple reports. There has not been an announcement regarding a delay of the game on Saturday in Eugene.

The FAA is investigating a communication issue that is impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers, leaving the status of several games in limbo around the country. According to The Athletic, Utah, Texas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Arizona State and Oregon State are among the teams that have seen their travel impacted ahead of Saturday's slate of games.

The broadcast of this game may be impacted by the ground stop. Tim Brando and the FS1 crew are in Los Angeles, slated to cover the UCLA vs. Illinois game on Friday night. It is currently unclear if they will be able to make it to Eugene for a 12:30 p.m. PT kick on Saturday.

There is no word on how long the ground stop will take. If the delay lasts long enough, it could impact Michigan's ability to return home after its game against the Ducks.

Oregon and Michigan are still scheduled to play at 12:30 p.m. PST at Autzen Stadium on Saturday. The game will be broadcast live on FS1.
