In a timely save, USAA picked up the Air Force college football team's travel tab to Annapolis for its sold-out contest with Navy last weekend.

On Wednesday, USAA, an insurance provider for military members and their families, pledged $230,000 to get the team to Annapolis. The game was under threat due to the government shutdown.

“We were very excited to support this weekend's game between Air Force and Navy,” says USAA spokesman Matthew Walters. “Games between the academies have a long tradition, and we wanted to ensure that tradition carried on. Sponsorship of academy athletic events provides USAA with the opportunity to engage with our members and support their shared passion.”
