Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule is considering canceling the team’s traditional spring game to protect his players from being poached through the transfer portal. Rhule expressed concerns about other coaches scouting his players and potentially recruiting them during the spring transfer window, calling it an “absolute free open common market.” He is exploring alternative ways to showcase the team to fans without exposing his players to outside interest. The spring game drew over 60,000 fans last year, but Rhule is prioritizing protecting his players and focusing on recruiting. The spring transfer portal closes on April 25, and Rhule may consider inviting fans to observe a ceremonial event after that. While undecided on the exact approach, Rhule is determined to keep his players safe and maintain the integrity of the team. Nebraska fans may have to adjust to the possibility of not having a traditional spring game this year.
