  "account": "The Minnesota Gophers' trip to face Penn State has been grounded due to a nationwide FAA ground stop, which has put the heavily anticipated football game in jeopardy. The game, which would give Minnesota all four of its rivalry trophies, was set to kick off at 6 p.m. CT on FS1. However, the ground stop, caused by a communication issue, has led to the Gophers' team buses returning to their campus in Minneapolis. With a 15-hour bus trip to Pennsylvania, rescheduling the game or sending the team back home are both potential options. The only other conference game facing similar issues is Washington-Michigan State. As of Friday evening, the game remained on the schedule, scheduled to air on FS1 at 6 p.m. CT.",
