Texas appears to have joined a growing list of prominent college football programs by dropping the annual spring game in favor of a restructured practice period

Texas will join a growing list of college football programs doing away with traditional spring games in favor of a slightly restructured practice slate, coach Steve Sarkisian said during a recent appearance on the "Up & Adams Show.

Texas and USC joined the slowly growing list of teams that are doing away with their spring football games on Thursday, according to ESPN's Dave Wilson. The two schools cited different reasons for canceling the traditional games,

Texas canceling its spring game could put a hole in the SEC Network's broadcast schedule. The former Longhorn Network used to broadcast the game, but all Texas programming shifted to the SEC Network when Texas joined the league prior to last season.

In what appears to be a trend among high-level college football programs, Texas will not hold a traditional spring game in 2025.

In another sign of college football's transformation, Texas and USC have joined Nebraska in canceling their spring games. "No, we're not going to have a spring game," Texas coach Sarkisian told Kay Adams on the "Up & Adams Show" podcast Thursday.

One of the traditions that may start to fall by the wayside is the annual spring game. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian has announced that the Longhorns won't be playing a spring game this year. Sarkisian broke the news on Up & Adams after host Kay Adams asked if she should make plans to come back for the game in April.

Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed to Kay Adams Thursday that there will not be a spring Orange-White game.

Texas joins a growing list of schools that are nixing the traditional spring game. USC, Ohio State, and Nebraska have all already canceled their spring games. Nebraska coach Matt Rhule cited widespread tampering in college football as one of the main reasons why his team wasn’t going to scrimmage.
