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.

Minnesota Golden Gophers

Sources: Minnesota to hire Niko Medved as men's hoops coach​

Minnesota is expected to hire Colorado State's Niko Medved as its next head coach, sources told ESPN.

Medved's season ended on Sunday night, as Colorado State lost at the buzzer to 4-seed Maryland in the second round of the NCAA tournament, 72-71. The Rams had won 11 straight games, including a Mountain West conference tournament championship and a first-round win over 5-seed Memphis in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

This will mark a return home for Medved, a Minneapolis native who attended the University of Minnesota and spent a year with the Gophers as an assistant coach in 2006-07.

Medved has led Colorado State to the NCAA tournament in three of the last four seasons, winning a game in each of the last two. They went 25-6 in 2021-22, earning a 6-seed in the NCAA tournament but losing to Michigan in the first round.

Last season, Colorado State earned a First Four berth, where it blew out Virginia, 67-42, before losing to Texas.

In seven seasons with the Rams, Medved went 143-85.
