I have a slight opinion on this matter, maybe even a vent.
I went to Bama after undergrad. I played D1 ball at a smaller school. I was a preferred walk-on, the day I was awarded a scholarship was probably one of the best days of my life. I didn’t cry when it happened but when I got back to my apartment I broke down. There is nothing I wouldn’t do that for that team. The idea of sitting for our bowl game and not dawning that helmet one more time… I would have rather been dead. We had plenty of guys who went to the league and there was never a thought of sitting. It’s more than money. When I was later in the Army I further learned this lesson. When you have been in the situations with the same people it creates a bond. Brotherhood is forged in adversity. I know not everyone agrees, just my .10 Cents.
Roll Tide.

What you said makes sense and we'd like to think the majority of players feel that way. However, in this situation, many of the guys that might sit out are underclassmen that are already leaving school early for the NFL. If they loved the school or their team so much, they wouldn't be leaving early.
I was like you though. I wanted to play for my team as long as possible, but playing beyond that was not an option for me.
