SALINA, KAN. - The Salina Post reached out to Kansas Jayhawk officials and Kansas State Wildcat officials regarding Saturday football games in the wake of the grounding of flights Friday afternoon.
"We are grounded in Manhattan and have no further plans as of now," Kenny Lannou told the Salina Post 5:45 p.m. Friday. Lannou is the exec associate AD for communications and PR at Kansas State.
KCTV news in Kansas City told the Salina Post they had reporters at the airport in Topeka when the KU women's basketball team deplaned after its flight was grounded with all others across the country Friday afternoon.
A sports department member at KCTV said they are still trying to find what other teams are scrambling now to find transportation.
Kansas State football is scheduled to play TCU in Texas at one in the afternoon Saturday.
The Kansas Jayhawk football team reportedly already arrived Friday for its game in West Virginia before the ground stop.
This is a fluid situation, and plans are being made and changing hourly.
As of this writing, there is no official word from the FAA when flights could resume across the country.
