Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4649178, member: 27"] That idea to make the spring game for P5 schools an exhibition game against an FCS opponent is growing on me. Half of the event seemed like it was the third team offense against the third team defense. Watching a lot of players who have zero or almost zero chance to play in a real game just isn’t that interesting. Hope this idea gains traction. I watched at least part of 4 or 5 ACC spring games. They were all snoozefests. I bet the ratings were terrible. Scrimmages against FCS schools would get a lot more people in the stands and watching on TV. I want to watch the starters play most of the game. Hopefully the game is a blowout and the subs get a chance to play some too. But the closer the spring game is to a real game, the more fan interest there will be. It will be a hell of a lot more compelling. Even if the game is only close for a quarter. Colgate, are you down for this? [/QUOTE]
