The University of Texas became the biggest school to announce it will no longer have a spring football game.
Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian made the announcement on Thursday, according to CBSSports.com.
“I just don’t know if rolling the ball out, playing the game, when we only get 15 practices, is the best for us to maximize the opportunities that we get,” Sarkisian said on the “Up & Adams Show.” “So it’s going to be a little bit of a different approach, but I think college football’s changing right now and we need to do a great job, as coaches, of adapting to college football, and that’s what we’re trying to do. I think it’s going to be good for our team.”
CBSSports.com also reports Sarkisian said Texas will “try to mimic the NFL’s organized team activities to the best of its ability while moving towards more of a scrimmage format as spring practice wears on.”
