Service academy football games have been put in jeopardy by the government shutdown.

An Army spokesperson tells FOX Insider Greg Couch "it's possible" this weekend's service academy football games could be postponed or canceled by the government shutdown.


Saturday’s Navy-Air Force game in Annapolis, Md., is already sold out. The Department of Defense announced that it has suspended all intercollegiate athletic competitions at its three service academies.


According to the Gazette, Navy and Air Force will notify fans by noon Thursday whether the game will be played.
Navy has already canceled its Tuesday men's soccer game against Howard.


According to the Gazette’s report, upper-class cadets at the Air Force Academy are considered military personnel, which means they too could be subject to travel restrictions.


Navy, Army and Air Force were able to play football during the last government shutdown in 1995. Air Force's sports information department was hit with furloughs during the stoppage, but the Western Athletic Conference and Colorado State provided staffers, helping the Falcons host Notre Dame. Air Force lost 44-14.
