Deion Sanders Proposes Inter-Team Spring Games to Transform College Football

The Colorado coach’s innovative idea gains interest from peers but faces NCAA regulatory hurdles.

Deion Sanders has proposed replacing traditional intra-squad spring football games with inter-team matchups to boost fan engagement and competition.
Syracuse coach Fran Brown and Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire have publicly expressed interest in collaborating on the idea.
Sanders envisions the event incorporating financial literacy education, expanding its impact beyond football.
The initiative faces significant challenges due to NCAA rules prohibiting joint practices or games between FBS teams during the spring.
Sanders remains optimistic about the proposal’s feasibility, with discussions ongoing and growing interest from other programs.
