College football's annual rite of spring seems to be withering. Texas became the latest major program Thursday to ditch or change its annual spring scrimmage that has long been a staple for fans eager to see rising stars and get a peek into the upcoming season.

If Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian doesn't want to play a spring game, more power to him. But the Horns would be wise to still meet their fans.

Texas Tech football made a big splash in the December transfer portal. Don't be surprised if Joey McGuire tries to add a little more impact in April.
