A couple weeks ago Matt Rhule announced at a press conference that Nebraska wouldn’t have the spring game as it was previously structured.
There are several reasons Rhule and Nebraska Athletic Director Troy Dannen chose to cancel the spring game. First, are the imposed roster limits which may make it difficult to field a full game particularly at the offensive line position for Nebraska.
However, the reason that Rhule chose to express at the press conference was actually that the television production of the Nebraska spring game was actually used as a scouting opportunity for other teams to look to poach players through the transfer portal.
