Syracuse Orange football was set to try something different for the annual Spring Game this year. Instead of playing inside the JMA Wireless Dome like usual, the team was scheduled to scrimmage outdoors at the SU Soccer Stadium - potentially a more intimate experience that would take advantage of early spring weather.

The NCAA's FBS oversight committee on Friday denied a waiver request, filed last week by Colorado and Syracuse's football programs, that proposed a joint 11-on-11 spring scrimmage game, according to Chris Vannini of The Athletic.
