   MARION, Ill. — The Nicholls football team found itself stuck in a small   
   airport in Illinois for more than 20 hours following the Colonels' 35-0   
   loss to Southern Illinois in the first round of the NCAA FCS playoffs on   
   Saturday afternoon.   
      
   According to Nicholls sports information, the delay was caused by damage   
   to the landing gear of the plane scheduled to return them to New Orleans.   
      
   Of the nearly 150 people stranded, players, staff and school   
   administration took to social media to show displeasure in waiting almost   
   an entire day for a flight at Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois with   
   no food and eventually no water.   
      
   "Student athlete welfare matters, NCAA," Nicholls Athletic Director   
   Jonathan Terrell posted on X, the social media site formerly known as   
   Twitter. "Seven hours in an airport, no transportation, no food and out of   
   water!!!!"   
      
   Nicholls President Jay Clune also shared his thoughts on X, and even   
   tagged the NCAA in a post he stated was an "unacceptable situation."   
      
   "Football team has been stranded in Illinois airport since playoff game   
   yesterday (17 hours)," Clune posted. "There have been several human   
   factors in this unacceptable situation, none of which are attributable to   
   (Nicholls). Thank you (Southern Illinois) for helping. NCAA needs to make   
   changes."   
      
   In a post from the Southland Conference shortly before 7 p.m. on Sunday,   
   the team finally managed to catch a flight and head home to South   
   Louisiana.   
      
   "We’ve got great news! After 22 hours, the Colonels are heading home!,"   
   posted Southland Conference social media. "Thank you to everyone who   
   helped out the Nicholls Football Team during this massive delay. Safe   
   travels back to Thibodaux (finally)!"   
      
   The team arrived back on campus in Thibodaux shortly before 9:30 p.m.   
      
   Nicholls (6-4) clinched the Southland with a win over Southeastern on Nov.   
   17 to mark the first time the Colonels finished the regular season with a   
   perfect conference record.   
      
   In Saturday's loss, sophomore quarterback Pat McQuaide was 12-of-26   
   passing with the two picks for the Colonels.   
      
   The Salukis (8-4) will travel to play No. 4 seed Idaho next Saturday.
