Wake Forest, Mizzou and South Carolina have already arrived to their destinations.
The Huskies are slated to face the Spartans at 4:15 p.m. ET Saturday at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing. But, with flights shutdown per the FAA order, travel may not resume until close to midnight Friday, leaving a short time for Washington to cover the approximately 2,300-mile distance.
Michigan, meanwhile, was scheduled to make virtually the same flight westward, going from Ann Arbor to Eugene, Oregon, for a game against Oregon scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The Wolverines are already in the Pacific Northwest, having traveled on Thursday.
