Many programs, including Nebraska, USC, Ohio State, and Texas, have also canceled spring games. Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule is one of the strongest voices against spring games in this new era. He and other coaches believe it's only an opportunity for their players to get poached by other schools or injured.

Oklahoma State is hosting a spring finale on April 19, allowing fans to watch the practice in Boone Pickens Stadium. It will include 30-minute fan access periods before and after the practice.

Mike Gundy is a fan of Bedlam in April, and he’s not talking about softball. The Oklahoma State football coach pitched the idea that the Cowboys should pair up with OU for a spring scrimmage rather than the fan showcase type of events that programs are moving toward in spring.
