Spring Games

Why NCAA Committee Denied Colorado, Syracuse's Request for Spring Game​

Here's the reasoning behind the FBS oversight panel's denial.

The NCAA's FBS oversight committee on Friday denied a waiver request, filed last week by Colorado and Syracuse's football programs, that proposed a joint 11-on-11 spring scrimmage game, according to Chris Vannini of The Athletic.

The waiver request also proposed contact and non-contact practice sessions between the Buffaloes and Orange in the 2025 spring practice period. In an explanation of its denial obtained by Vannini, the NCAA listed two main areas of concern with the request:

"The timing of the request, noting most institutions have already planned their spring practice periods and some are at the end of, or have completed, their spring practice period," the NCAA said.

"The competitive and recruiting advantage gained by the applicant institutions if a waiver was approved to allow these institutions to engage in activities no other institutions are permitted to do. And the potential academic impact associated with student athletes missing class time to participate in spring activities."

However, the committee agreed to further discussions, in a future meeting, that could ultimately lead to joint spring practices in the future. The idea of a joint spring practice and game isn't new, but it quickly picked up steam again after Sanders floated a pro-style alternative to the current format while speaking to reporters last week.

Ohio State Men's Ice Hockey (2019 B1G Champions)

Yeah, 8-3 is not a good look, especially to a lower seed
BU was the 2 seed; we were the 3. BU hung around the top 5 most of the year. Not a terrible loss, but I still expected a better showing.

B1G as a whole stunk up the joint yesterday going O-3. The 4 seed pedsters are all that remains. I think we can close the book on the all that "B1G is now the top conference in college hockey" talk.

PG Gabe Cupps (Official Thread)

I haven't followed him much at IU, but I'm excited about this for my own personal reasons. Gabe's dad was one of my teachers and AD for our high school, and is an awesome person that was extremely intelligent and would go out of his way to help students and athletes. I was so bad at math and when I got ready for the ACT, he would take his time off around lunch to help me prepare and I wasn't even in his class anymore.

I don't know Gabe but if he is anything like his dad, he will contribute to the team in some way. I guarantee you he is a smart kid that was raised right, somehow that seems to translate into helping a team.

2026 TX OL Zaden Krempin (Verbal Offer)

Idk where you've seen that he's visited there a lot. He had 1 3 day visit there, before he visited OSU for 2 days. He also has official visits set up to SMU(early favorite), Texas and LSU. Notice the trend... Probably not leaving the south
But OSU still has PLENTY of OL options. Best of luck to him
I thought this said he had a "13" day visit until I realized it meant "one 3" day visit 8D

DE C.J. Hicks (National Champion)

Hicks is going to flash this year. Multiple big plays
I agree. His attitude matched with his God-given physical ability is finally going to manifest on the field.

I can see him in there during the rushmen kicking Kenyatta down over the 3 gap and him off the edge. Should raise quite a bit of hell!

Ryan Day admits why Ohio State went against the grain in the transfer portal to find a potential hidden gem for the Buckeyes

Ohio State took some big swings in the transfer portal last season, which made their approach this year look a lot different.

The Buckeyes didn’t need to go out and load up with Caleb Downs or Quinshon Judkins. Ohio State didn’t need to find a starting quarterback like they did with Will Howard. Instead, the Buckeyes found two potential starting tackles and other depth for the roster.

Ohio State even dipped into the FCS ranks and it caught the eyes of many. The Buckeyes don’t normally go after FCS transfers, but one player stood out that the Buckeyes thought would be a good addition to the program.

“He comes from the same hometown as Tommy and we at least knew some people there to ask questions about his background,” Ryan Day said on Monday of new DE Logan Georgia, who comes over from Idaho State. “Then watched his film and just saw a player that played really hard, and really physical, and tough. We brought him in and really liked his family and his support system.”

George is heading into his junior season and it is a big jump up in competition for him. However, the Buckeyes liked what they saw on tape and thought that it would translate well. George recorded 53 tackles and 5.5 sacks in his sophomore season.

“He’s a very serious guy, but he’s earned the respect from the team early on.”

George will figure into the defensive end rotation that will likely see Kenyatta Jackson and Caden Curry as the starters. Behind that it should be C.J. Hicks and George who will look for second-team snaps in Larry Johnson’s unit.

Ohio State will have two years to develop George, who they think can be a strong player for their defense. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound pass rusher looks the part and Buckeye fans will get their first look at him in the spring game next month.
