Spring football is extremely important for a football team especially if you are a new coach and you want to put in your system before the season. Basketball has the summer to do this and baseball has the winter, and now football has the spring. No it isn't for conditioning purposes and most schools don't push their baseball players to participate. When I played, however, I went to both practices and loved it. It should be up to the player IMO if they want to do both. If you think spring football is a joke than your school is either a.) not doing it right and has a joke for a coaching staff or b.) you just don't like football.

I agree, some people in this state still treat football like its a hobby and not a real sport. Nobody says anything when the B-ball team gets together in june or the baseball team gets together in january. Spring ball is an oppurtunity for a coach to evaluate his team and see what players have improved and what players need to do to continue to improve between now and when summer practice starts. I wish we had spring ball when I played I wouldve loved it.
