BYU vs Baylor Game Status in Question After Team Flight Grounded
BYU's game against Baylor on Saturday is officially in jeopardy. On Friday afternoon, the Federal Aviation Administration grounded every flight in the country “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.”
The Baylor Bears were boarding their flight to Provo when the FAA made the announcement. Instead of departing for Provo, Baylor returned to its facility.
According to a local reporter that was permitted to travel with the team, the Bears returned to their facility to wait for the grounding mandate to be lifted. Later, they made the decision that they will not be flying to Utah on Friday night.
Pete Nakos reported that Baylor plans to fly to Utah in the morning.
