Purdue team grounded in Indiana?

- Start date
Hearing from reliable source (FWIW) that Purdue team was on plane, on runway awaiting takeoff when stop order was issued.
I think it is strange they would not fly out in the morning though.

Well they can fly in tomorrow morning and bus right to the stadium
6 hour drive. Get on a bus
Teams may wait until afternoon for departure day before the game so all of their student-athletes can go to class that morning before leaving for their game the next day.
Right?
Right?
for sure
Well in 26 hours Phil Parker's D is gonna ground their asses for real!
Kirk will have the boys all loaded into a Kirkwood Hotel conference room to watch the Illinois game tonight. A little prep ahead.
This will be listed as a factor by the CFP committee when Iowa drops to 17 after a 16 point victory.
What's the longest you sat in a damn plane on the tarmac? I did 2 3/4 hours due to weather. Then they took us back to the damn terminal at like 11pm and sat for 2 hours there before loading up and taking off at 1am.
Don't worry guys the "Administration" is on the case

Just for this I won't boo them.
Hope it is some old school yellow school buses.
This will mean more traffic on the road leading to a longer bus ride.
More likely to push the schedule back a week and a cancellation of the Big championship game.
Good thing it wasn’t one of those damn 11 am games.
In order to be fair, Kirk is going to have his players ride around in a bus for 6 hours today.
Won't be going anywhere near a major city so traffic will be fine. Been there done that.
And make extra sure the offense doesn't try too hard to score points on those poor Purdue boys who had to suffer through this hardship........
Fair is fair.
Air travel is great . . . except when it isn't, which is way too often, for one reason or another.
Good one...don't want anyone to miss a study hall.
This article gives a breakdown of the events and what schools are affected:

FAA nationwide ground stop lifted, college football teams’ travel plans impacted
As college football teams were getting ready to travel to their respective Week 11 games, the FAA issued a nationwide ground stop Friday afternoon.
Cool. Get off the bus and then the pink locker room. Love it!
I can assure you they are focusef on Purdue. There will be no talk about Illinois.
The Old Miss game at Oklahoma was moved to SUNDAY afternoon for the same flight issues! Okie is pissed at doesn't want to play Sunday and the SEC said then forfeit..
