Week in review: Nebraska football legend selected to Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame
LINCOLN — Another week of Nebraska athletics has come to an end. Here are some things you may have missed:

Will the Husker Spring Football Format Ever Return

After Nebraska’s Pinstripe Bowl win over Boston College in December, Husker fans were already counting the days until the Husker spring football game arrived.

Then came the jarring news that the days of the annual Red-White game had sadly come to an end.

Husker fans were told that In lieu of a real football game, there was going to be what is called a Spring “Event.”  It is scheduled for Saturday, April 26, in Lincoln.

So what’s the event going to look like?  Fans will be treated with a  7 on 7 football contest, a women’s soccer game.  Topping it  off that night will be a Husker volleyball game vs Kansas State at the Devaney Center.

Husker fans love volleyball, but no real football game?

Nah.

So what are the reasons for the elimination of the traditional football game format?  Husker head coach Matt Rhule cited the risk of injuries and the stealing of Husker players by opposing teams as the main concerns.
