USC basketball dramatically impacted by shocking FAA flight disaster

USC women’s basketball was stranded in Los Angeles on Friday after the FAA issued a nationwide ground stop, disrupting the team’s planned trip to South Carolina. The delay puts the Trojans’ Sunday game against top-ranked South Carolina at risk and affects other sports teams travelling for weekend fixtures.

The US Secretary of Transportation said a communications issue was affecting all Air Route Traffic Control Centres, and FAA technicians were investigating. USC said it would provide updates; the article gives no revised travel plans or confirmed change to the game. USC’s football team had already arrived in Indiana for its Saturday match.
