So you are comfortable saying that a complete stranger would 100 percent do something that NO ONE did 5 years ago?
This is a new phenomenon that has never proven to protect anyone, period.
That it is somehow believed to be decided logic is a retarded concept.

When Alabama has had quitters, they didn’t get to stand on the sideline for the bowl game.
If a guy wants to quit, then thank him for his work and wish him luck, but he shouldn’t get to quit and still pretend to be on the team.
He choose himself over the team.

New conference that packs schedule with Troy, GA tech, UAB, Central Ark, Tulsa, atm, etc., all in one season LOL. Sick can’t wait.

Forbes on Jaylon Smith’s bowl injury…
“The torn ACL was bad. The nerve damage was worse. There were fears Smith would never play football again – let alone at an elite level. One top NFL scout I contacted said Smith was a top-10 prospect. Another top scout believed Smith might have gone in the top five.
Instead, he fell to No. 34, where he was selected by the Dallas Cowboys. Smith signed a four-year, $6.495 million contract. Had Smith gone, say, No. 7 overall, he would have signed a four-year contract worth $18.191 million.”
$12 million bet. Yeah, he’d do the same.

So your one example, from thousands of college football players, was one guy from 7 years ago who was still a first- round pick?
Lol, dumbass.
Lol, dumbass.

Your boy Leonard Fournette paved this road. You ready to call him a quitter?

No. Actually there are important things other than money to some people.
And income increases beyond 6 figures have been found to have little or no impact on personal happiness.
Jaylon Smith even said, “But you don’t go in the game thinking, ‘Oh man I’m going to get hurt.’ That was my decision, and I love it. And I wouldn’t change it. If I knew that I was going to get hurt and wasn’t going to be a top-five pick again, I would have literally played in that game again because of my teammates and how much Notre Dame means to me.”

So Texas told him not to play? I thought he decided not to play.

Problem with this is it'd get used against you in recruiting.

I'm not going to insult the man, but I don't care for sitting out of bowl games. You were no more likely to get injured in the first game of the season than the last. If all these guys are worried about is staying healthy for the NFL, they might as well pull a COVID opt-out and sit out for the season.

Lot of people ITT are full of shite if they say they wouldn't sit out a bowl game and risk millions. Jamarr Chase sat out a whole season and still went top 5 and LSU fans still claim him to this day but a kid sitting out a bowl game is a pussy 
I thought u guys respected capitalism

Kinda weird how quickly this mindset has become socially acceptable. “Opt outs” were fairly rare until recently. Now they’ve become not only accepted but even encouraged by fan bases, and we’re surprised when they don’t happen.
I think that’s a shitty reflection on the state of affairs.

if your son was a surefire early NFL draft pick, would you advise him to play in a non CFP bowl game and risk getting ACL'd?

If he wanted to, sure. I certainly wouldn’t “advise” against it. I’d respect his decision to go to war with his team mates and represent his university one more time.
Again, when and how did this mindset so rapidly change? Was Saban right about how greatly diminishing the CFP would be to bowl games?
ETA: Of note, rookies stood to lose more money 10+ years ago, before the rookie salary rules were in place, and virtually nobody opted out of bowl games during that era.

yes saban was right but it merely shone a light on how asinine bowl games were to begin with. win your conference? that matters. beating oregon? who the frick cares, seriously. it was glossed and glorified the entire time. take off your rose tinted glasses and realize it's NCAA and the bureaucrat lefty media that have hyped these games and raked in revenue the entire time. with thay being said, as long as the Steve's Bologna Sandwich Bowl(TM) crap is around, everyone on scholarship and especially with the NIL shite should be required to play in them

First, that should definitely be the name for a bowl.
Second, how is that game any less meaningful than playing in a game vs. Mercer a couple weeks prior? Where does the line get drawn?

well, those games are a foregone conclusion (unless it's fricking Troy cmon tigers) but the point of them is when youre rolling to keep the engine warm and mix in some bench players to get reps and see if there's anyone you've been overlooking. the bowl games should be pretty much that IMO, it should be taken seriously but also a sneak peek at what is coming down the pipe. I just can't get that upset when a projected first rounder sits out
Posted on 12/30/22 at 5:22 am to RockyRococco
You'll quickly have players start holding out the last couple games of their rookie contract in anticipation of signing a bigger free agent deal. You know it's coming, and soon. "Respect my decision. I'm just protecting myself and my family." And all of you justifying a habit of quitting will line up and simp for these players.

Then have their agents buy them a $100 million dollar injury policy for 30 days.

Take the loss dude. You are not going to win minds on this thread with that pussified argument.
