Oklahoma Sooners AD Joe Castiglione opens up about making one of the more tough decisions he's had to make​



“The old world has changed, and I don't like it either," Sooners athletic director Joe Castiglione said on The REF. "We have grown the attendance of spring games. We understand it, but the world has changed dramatically. We don't have to like it, but it's something different. It's hard to explain to everyone. But, this is the forerunner for what's going to happen in spring football. Maybe people have a spring game this year. But in my mind, I see spring practices changing dramatically. I love the spring game. I hate to see it going away. I’m with the fans. It’s just something that we’re having to do to adjust and best position our program.”

This had to be done because of the landscape of college football that we are in today. With the transfer portal, other teams can watch your spring games and check in with spring practices and see certain players do well, then when that next spring transfer portal window opens, they can offer them more money and poach the player. That's not cool, but that's our college football world.

Says they can watch and steal their players. Run a combine for them instead of a game.... Profit(fail)?
