Cornell game postponed as historic FAA ground stop hits college basketball
While much of the college football slate — and transportation — for Saturday still hung in limbo due to the Federal Aviation Administration’s four-hour nationwide ground stop, one game on the men’s hoops slate has already been called off. The men’s basketball game between Cornell and UNC Greensboro has been postponed, the Ivy League institution said on Friday . Cornell said the game, originally scheduled for 11 a.m. at Newman Arena, will not go on because UNCG, like many other teams, was not able to fly because of what Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has labeled a “communication issue.” Sources told The Post that a botched software update caused the issue that led to the FAA grounding all flights right before 4 p.m. ET.
