  "summary": "The FAA's decision on Friday to impose a ground halt on all U.S. airline traffic may disrupt college football's Saturday television schedule. According to Deadline and Yahoo Sports, the stoppage could lead to game postponements for networks including ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, Fox, and The CW. Media outlets have been monitoring whether teams had reached game sites, were in the air, or remained at home airports during the shutdown. As an alternative, the University of Alabama drove to Nashville for its game against Vanderbilt.\n\nThe shutdown, which Yahoo Sports describes as the first such incident since 9/11, impacted more than 10,000 flights and resulted in over 800 diversions. The FAA and the Department of Transportation attributed the stoppage to a communication issue necessitated by safety and extraordinary circumstances. The agency began allowing flights to depart late Friday after more than four hours.",
