Nationwide FAA halt could impact Wisconsin vs. Maryland kickoff time
As of a few hours ago, the Wisconsin Badgers had officially touched ground at the Baltimore/Washington International airport. UW left early enough so they were able to land at BWI before the FAA halted flights across the country. Seeing as most college football teams who have a game on Saturday, Nov. 14, were flying out on Friday, Nov. 13, that didn't bode well for a ton of programs. 12 major teams were left grounded while the likes of Auburn and Purdue switched to a bus method of transportation. Now, according to On3's Ross Dellenger , it seems like the start time for certain games may be impacted. Conference officials are in dialogue with media partners about adjusting kickoff times of impacted games, potentially swapping time slots with other games. Several teams have returned to campus as airport staff informed administrators that the grounding could last 8 more hours. https://t.co/ZxfrK7dMGa — Ross Dellenger (@RossDellenger) November 13, 2026 "Conference officials are in dialogue with media partners about adjusting kickoff times of impacted games, potentially swapping time slots with other games," he said.
