Lincoln, neb. – the Nebraga The spring match, one of the best participants in university football and the main producer of income, will probably not be kept due to the care of coach Matt Rhule for other teams of his players.
“The word” manipulation “no longer exists,” said Rhule on Saturday at his Midwinter press conference. “It’s just an absolutely free open common market. I don’t necessarily want to open myself to the outside world and ask people watching our guys and say: “She looks like a pretty good player. Let’s go to him. “
The spring game has a long tradition in NebraSka. Last year, the event attracted 60 452 to the Memorial Stadium, the fourth highest in the country behind spring matches in Ohio conditionIN Alabama AND Penn State. The Cornhuskersa game was also television on the Wielka Ten Network.
“I dealt with many people offering our players many opportunities,” said Rhule. “So you go out and bring a group of new players and present them to all other schools to watch? There is no point for me. “
Six players in Nebraska entered the transfer portal during the week after last year’s spring match.
The spring period of the portal ends on April 25, the day before the end of the spring practice of Nebrask. However, players can change schools without entering the portal, as was the case Wisconsin security Xavier Lucas“A recent move to Miami.
Rhule said that exposing her players to other schools is more disturbing to him than risking an injury in a spring game. Wide receiver Demitrius Bell and defender Blye Hill I was wounded in last year’s spring match and missed the season. Rhule said that live fight would last in a fight during spring practice.
“Guys are now compensated, and you put money for some people, a completely different set of parameters,” said Rhule. “However, you have to do well at the same time.
Rhule said that although it is “very doubtful”, the spring game will take place in a fight format, she wants to “show” its players to fans in some way. Troy Dannen sports director said on his radio program last week that the determined event will take place on April 26, probably covering football and other autumn sports.
