Michigan's spring football game on April 19 proceeds

Michigan is moving forward with its spring football game, scheduled for April 19 at Michigan Stadium. Coach Sherrone Moore confirmed on Monday that the game will take place despite many programs deciding to cancel their events this year. Several college teams, including Texas, USC, and Michigan State, have opted not to hold traditional spring games. Recently, Auburn also announced its plans to transform its game into a public practice and autograph session. However, Moore remains focused on providing an opportunity for players and fans alike to engage with the team. Concerns around spring games are growing among coaches. They fear that showcasing their players might lead to rival teams trying to recruit them through the upcoming transfer portal window, which opens on April 16. While Moore acknowledged these worries, he emphasized the importance of player relationships and the benefits of the spring game. The Michigan spring game will kick off at noon, and no tickets are needed for entry. Moore is determined to ensure that all players, especially those who may not play often, get the chance to shine in front of fans.
