Any number of reasons:
He actually does want to focus on football
How does accepting a check and getting a copy of the video game affect his season preparations?
quote:
He doesn’t know how his image will be used in a video game that hasn’t been released in 11 years (almost entirely due to the fact of issues stemming from name, image and likeness) and maybe doesn’t want to be tied to it at first
EA already told you. The $600 is just to put the player in the game. They have an ambassador program where they can earn more and do more.
quote:
He doesn’t want it as an additional distraction to the other bullshite he has to put up with anytime something immaterial happens to him (he was in the news for dropping his student ID two different times)
Again, how does creating a digital player in a video game create a distraction? Also, he's a fricking back up.
quote:
His family has indicated that he doesn’t want to earn any NIL money until he’s playing more
$600.

Take your pick. Idk personally why he opted out, but I’m sure he and/or his family has their reasons. Either way, the reaction from a bunch of grown men over a video game they haven’t even seen yet is pretty comical
I'm sure they do have their reasons. But it sure as shite isn't to focus on fricking football.

Lol so what are his reasons then? You asked and I gave you answers and you threw another tantrum.
Also… you do realize that not every player starts the moment they step on the campus, right? Is he supposed to start over the incumbent starting QB who is a heisman favorite going into the season?
Like I said: the grown men losing their minds over a decision that doesn’t affect their lives one iota is pretty comical
Since you clearly know more about the Mannings, why did he opt out?
quote:So you don’t see how it could be a distraction in the locker room that he gets plenty of press over it despite not playing, while other starters on the team at different positions will not get the same press despite opting in?
Also, he's a fricking back up.
