CFB is a mess. UNC is playing in one of its biggest bowl games in forever and 3 of their best players have opted out.

I still can't believe that, it's wild.

In its current state, the sport is a joke. It sucks to say that. I used to never watch the NFL, but it is a much better product right now than CFB. And it pains me to say that, truly does. The young QBs and play makers have the league in a great spot.

Well, these UNC players don't seem to think this is a particularly big game. If this Orange Bowl was like a quarterfinals playoff game, or something like that, there might be something on the line for them as an incentive to play.

Just expand the playoff. Have any teams in the playoff had opt outs?

Maybe the problem is leadership. Did anyone have a better reason to opt out of bowl season last year than Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs? With all the players opting out before the season this year, did anyone have a better reason to opt out than Devonta Smith and Najee Harris?

Players don't increase their value by not playing. One coach has managed to get his players to understand that.
