Auburn, Ala. (WDNews) — Sources report that the Auburn men’s basketball team’s flight to Houston was unexpectedly rerouted back to Auburn shortly after takeoff on Friday, which was confirmed to WDNews by Auburns Regional Airport. The decision followed an incident involving what has been reported as “horseplay” between players roughly 20-30 minutes into the flight
According to sources, the situation escalated, making flight attendants uneasy. This prompted the crew to turn the plane around, returning to Auburn.
The team is set to board a new flight later in the evening to continue their journey on to Houston.
