The Department of Defense has suspended all intercollegiate athletic competitions at its three service academies as a result of the government shutdown, said Scott Strasemeier, Naval Academy associate athletic director.
Navy and Air Force have not canceled a football game scheduled for Saturday in Annapolis. But it's a possibility.
Strasemeier said the schools will tell fans whether the game will be played prior to Thursday at 12 p.m. He said any notification would be posted to http://www.NavySports.com.
