Nebraska’s spring football game likely canceled as transfer portal has made it detrimental

Posted Feb 1, 2025
The Nebraska spring game, one of the best-attended in college football and a major revenue producer, likely won’t be held because of coach Matt Rhule’s concern about other teams poaching his players. "Tampering doesn’t exist anymore," Rhule said. "I don’t want to have people watch our guys and say, ‘He looks like a pretty good player. Let’s go get him.’" (Associated Press)
