USC has decided to cancel its spring football game in 2025, ending a tradition that has persisted since the Pete Carroll era. This decision aligns with shifts in major college football, as prominent programs like Nebraska and Ohio State have also scrapped their spring games amid issues such as player tampering. Attendance for USC’s spring games has dwindled, and practices have remained closed to fans. Instead, USC intends to replace the spring game with two new engagement events for fans and former players, allowing continued interaction with the football program.
