Intercollegiate Spring Games?

Deion wants foe for CU spring game; Cuse willing

Colorado coach Deion Sanders wants to save spring football games by having teams practice against another team for a week before playing them in a scrimmage.

Why not? Soccer gets to play intercollegiate scrimmages in the Spring (heck they even get to play vs pro and semi pro teams). Basketball can now play same division exhibition games...so what's the downside with this for college football. Let's pretend we don't care about the athletes missing class because neither the coaches nor NCAA really care about it.

If we did who would TU schedule against? Missouri State if they're not on the schedule. KU or KState would be a nice touch occasionally.

The Dallas Cowboys! I like our chances 😉

I’ve always thought it would be cool to scrimmage an actual team. Even against a D2 school or FCS that’s regional. I’m sure there are rules against it or something and no one wants tape out there for opponents to get their hands on, but football starved fans would love a spring tailgate with a fun scrimmage played like an actual game.

Seems in today's NCAA there are rules against everything, but enforcement of none of them... Sure would be interesting if the Buffs and Orange rolled the dice to see what the NCAA's response would be.

This way I can root for my favorite team - TU and for my favorite pro-team - ABC (anybody but Cowboys)!

Well, I would at least like to see some kind of challenge in a spring game. So we can test our players and see how they handle under pressure. The Cowboys wouldn't be able to do that for us.
