SEC program cancels spring football game

Texas will not have a spring game in 2025.

Steve Sarkisian revealed the development on the “Up & Adams Show.”

Talks of teams adapting their spring practices and canceling their spring games have been a growing topic in recent months. The path is gaining popularity due to the transfer portal and concerns over the health of players.

Sarkisian revealed the health of his players played a pivotal role in his decision.

“I think a couple reasons why,” Sarkisian said. “Over the last two years, we’ve played 30 games. That’s a lot for college football. 14 two years ago, 16 this year, and I just mentioned we’ve had 25 guys get invited to the NFL Combine the last two years.
