I'm not opposed to opt outs to prep for the draft. Gives young guys extra practice and game reps and ensures no injuries plus extra prep for those who are making the NFL jump. If they want players to stop opting out they need to make the bowl games meaningful either by expanded playoffs or increased incentives.

The bowl games are as relevant as they’ve always been. Historically only one or maybe two games had national championship implications. The rest of them were just fun matchups and a way to cap off the season.

I don’t know what caused this apathy about bowl games but it’s a fairly recent thing. There have been scores of players going to the NFL who still opted to play in “irrelevant” bowls going back as long as there have been bowls and the NFL.
