Oklahoma follows the College Football trend to cancel the spring game and to take another matter from the fans

In the past, nation will now wait another four months to take the first real view of the 2025 football team in Oklahoma.

OU announced on Monday that it replaced its annual spring game with the new Crimson Combine on April 12, on the same day when the spring game was originally planned.

According to the publication of OU, the Crimson Combine will be a “new fan-centered football event” in which players and coaches will take part in drills in a combination style, skills, challenges, activities for fan engagements, autographs and photo opportunities and much more.

The new general manager Jim Nagy and the offensive coordinator are also promised to speak.

The tickets for the event cost 10 US dollars and will be sold on Thursday at 10 a.m. CT.

Regardless of whether it is fan -oriented or a success or flop, the change still took the way what football fans want to see the most: football.

Spring game used to be the nation's first chance to see the sooners' offensive under the new offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle and the first look at the Top Transfer -Quarterback John Mateer. Now this first exhibition will only be on August 30th at the start of the season of Sooners against Illinois State.

Mike Gundy has changed the spring game of Oklahoma State in Oklahoma State or has been canceled for years. However, Nebraska coach Matt Rhule recently announced that the Cornhuskers would not organize a spring game this year, which would be led to a trend, on the programs across the country, including Lincoln Riley at USC and now Brent Venables at OU.

There is concern that other programs see young talents who do not yet see the field and attract them to the transfer portal when it is reopened in April. There are always injuries of fear and even asking whether a spring game is an advantage at all.

This has become another trend in the new age of College football that is constantly changing. And it seems that every change only takes away another matter from College Football fans. We have already lost rivalries, traditions, national signs in the state and even a promising recruit flower to a star.

OU kept the purple combine the “new spring tradition”. As with Bedlam and developing players, spring games are also in the past of college football.
