Every Air Force athlete woke up Saturday morning barred from NCAA competition.

By no fault of their own.

The Academy has cancelled all of its planned sports contests as the federal government shutdown continues, it announced early Saturday.

The decision put several Air Force programs immediately in limbo with seven sports set for competition the same day. The women’s basketball team was in Fresno, Calif., both swim teams were in Las Vegas, and the rifle team arrived in Fort Worth, Texas. All were called home with forfeits. And same goes for the Saturday scheduled home hockey game with Sacred Heart, the gymnastics meet with Oklahoma, and the men’s basketball game against Fresno State.

Air Force athletics released the following statement: “Due to the government shutdown, all Air Force Academy home and away intercollegiate athletic events have been cancelled until further notice. In the event a solution is reached, the Academy will work to reschedule as many missed events as possible.”

An Air Force athletics spokesman said he was unable to work or answer questions regarding the news because of the freeze in athletics funding. The Academy’s public affairs office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The shutdown began overnight when U.S. Senators failed to reach a resolution to continue funding before the federal government’s deadline. Navy and Army did not cancel their athletic events. Like Air Force, they too rely on 501(c)(3) nonprofits that serve as athletic corporations for funding. But the Falcons receive more federal government dollars to subsidize their athletic operations.

A Mountain West spokesman told The Denver Post the conference is in “constant communication” with Air Force, and added: “It is a fluid situation that changes hourly. When we have concrete information, we will share it.”

Visiting programs that traveled to Colorado Springs on Friday were given little notification before the Saturday cancellations. The Fresno State men’s basketball team arrived with 24 people and caught wind of the possibility late last night. The Oklahoma men’s gymnastics team was alerted by an Air Force coach about 7 a.m. Saturday, and in-person, too, because that coach was not permitted to even use the Academy’s phone system during the shutdown, an OU team spokesman said.

Air Force navigated a similar shutdown in 2013 and received a $230,000 donation from USAA for Air Force football’s travel to a Navy game, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette.
