Hugh Freeze suggests replacing spring games with scrimmages against other college teams.

Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze has proposed replacing spring games with exhibitions against other teams, arguing that it would be more beneficial for coaches and players. Freeze believes that the current format can be a "wasted day" and that scrimmaging against another team would allow programs to get more out of the experience. He also suggested that gate revenue from these exhibitions could be donated to charity. While the idea is not new, it has yet to gain traction at the national level. Auburn's A-Day game this year will feature a new format, with the defense starting with a predetermined point total.
