BOULDER, Colo.—University of Colorado football coach Jon Embree says spring practices will be closed to the public and members of the media will be allowed to view only parts of the drills.
The Colorado Daily ( ) reports Embree hinted last fall that his policies would be different this year. He says the primary reason is that the Buffs begin next season against rival Colorado State, and open practices easily could allow CSU to scout the team.
Embree also notes he wants to keep distractions at a minimum for such a young team, saying “I don’t want them coming off the field every day feeling like they’re being judged.”
He is leaving open the possibility of having part of fall camp in August open to the public.
