Michigan State football vs. Washington could be impacted by FAA outage

The air travel world ground to a halt on Friday, as the FAA announced a nationwide ground stop across the country due to a reported technical outage resulting in safety concerns. The move, which is having huge ramifications across the country, is also impacting the sports world and could impact Michigan State football's game on Saturday against the Washington Huskies in East Lansing.

According to a report from Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal, Washington wasn't planning to leave for the game until this afternoon, and is now stuck in Seattle as the world waits to see what happens to the air traffic situation. According to Connor Earegood of The Detroit News, the Huskies' football team is now back on their campus waiting for updates.

MSU is slated to kick off against the Huskies at 4:15 pm ET tomorrow. For reference, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN, Arizona State has opted to fly to their game against UCF tomorrow morning. That game kicks off at 3:30pm ET, so it's not out of the question that Washington could do a similar move.
