There’s been some bugaboo across college football lately asking the question: should teams still hold their annual spring games?
After all, with tampering, the transfer portal, and NIL in full swing, some coaches have used others’ spring games as opportunities to poach from other schools’ rosters. Players who were on the fringe of being starters at one school suddenly came on other programs’ radars, and before you know it, the depth chart at one school is lessened as other schools bolster theirs.
However, Michigan doesn’t appear to be of the mindset — despite some of that likely happening to the Wolverines last spring — that it shouldn’t hold a spring game. The program announced on Thursday that the annual spring game will be held on Saturday, April 19 at noon this year.
Now, it is not clear whether or not it will be an actual game as it has been the past several years or if it will be more like some programs are considering, making it more like NFL offseason training activities that the public can see. But either way, if you’re a Michigan fan in the Ann Arbor area, you can get to The Big House a good several months before the regular season and catch your first in-person glimpse of Bryce Underwood, offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey, and the new-look Michigan Wolverines.
