At this moment on Friday afternoon the FAA has implemented a nation-wide ground stop which disallows departing flights.

Based upon what I can see via the Internet, it appears the Wolverines' flight had departed before the ground stop. They are due to arrive in Eugene about 4:50 local time.

there could be problems with tv crews too

It appears Michigan went wheels up about 54 minutes before the ground stop.

If teams were scheduled to travel late....like Oregon did last Friday....there will be a lot of host teams sweating whether and how a game might be rescheduled.

You are correct, about TV crews. The TV crew that is scheduled for the game in Eugene on Saturday is doing the Illinois at UCLA game tonight. They are probably already in L.A. But, might the ground stop continue long enough to affect their post-game departure to Eugene?

Michigan football planning to leave day early for Oregon game

Whittingham has opted to have his team travel out Thursday night, after practice, in order to help players and staff adjust their body clocks.

“It’s the first time in my career that we’ve traveled three time zones,” Whittingham said. “We’ve traveled two a few times, but never experienced a three time-zone trip.”
