The Texas State R-O-T-C programs are facing possible cuts due to the federal government shutdown. The Air Force and Army have R-O-T-C programs here, and if the shutdown continues for very much longer stipends and direct program funding will be cut. The same is true at other universities. The R-O-T-C programs at A-and-M and U-T are also expecting cutbacks. For example, at the University of Texas, the Navy R-O-T-C tradition of running the game ball from Austin to Dallas as a part of the Red River Shootout game between Oklahoma University and U-T has been canceled.
