Air Force Cancels All Athletic Events Due to Government Shutdown
The Air Force Academy has canceled intercollegiate sports events because of the federal government shutdown.
The academy said Saturday both home and away events have been postponed.
"In the event a solution is reached, the Academy will work to reschedule as many missed events as possible," the school said in a statement.
The academy's online sports calender says seven intercollegiate events were scheduled Saturday, including men's and women's basketball games at Fresno State, men's and women's swimming at UNLV, men's hockey against Sacred Heart at the academy and men's gymnastics against Oklahoma at the academy.
