    Football fans and football teams need something in the spring to enjoy, compete and compare. I know a lot of you young whipper-snappers never got to enjoy it, but something reminiscent of the old Georgia/GA Tech freshman game comes to mind. It was a blast in it's day and gave football starved fans a good look at all the new talent.

    Some type of scrimmage would be great for the FANS that are continually being left out and left behind due to all of the latest decisions in college football. The only question would be how would this work as far as which team hosts the scrimmage. Would a team like Georgia want to host every year or would teams alternate so there wouldn’t be a G-Day every other year? Lots of other questions need to be considered.

    Good idea but someone has to be first. Two coaches and two AD don't need the NCAA to initiate this. Just go and do it and apologize later. That seems to be the tact in the era were now living in.

    That would certainly be awesome, but I doubt it will ever happen. Between risk of injuries, travelling and logistics I doubt anyone would go for it. The fact that the G Day game is no longer televised and other teams aren't having it tells you EXACTLY where we are at right now.

    What College Football needs to do is to have the Transfer Portal OPEN AND CLOSE before the Scrimmage games so that talent can't be poached. Then, let allow players to freely "opt out" of the game if there are worries about injuries and such.

    My daughter has become a huge NFL fan and I admit that pre-season games in the NFL are poorly attended because they are kinda boring without the stars, BUT it'd be different for college football as even 2nd and 3rd string players have a real chance of playing this year and many will absolutely be starting next year.

    "Generate a new revenue stream", CKS. It is all about the money. CFB as we have known it is gone forever. Every year CFB looks less like traditional CFB and more like NFL Jr. The spring game,as a tv and spectator event, is on the way out. Expect it to be replaced by an interconference (SEC/BIG10) preseason spring game.
