Agreed, this is why the current state of college football is crazy. The NIL and portal as of now is unsustainable.
It will change and there will be contracts to abide by unless the collectives enjoy throwing their money away.

Meaningless to him, maybe. However, what about those Miami players who aren't going to the NFL and are playing in the last game of their lives?
I don't think it's meaningless to them.
Womp womp.
If you got some amazing job offer, would you decline it because your coworkers "really need you there"? If you have ever left a job, don't you think you were letting your coworkers down? Apply some real world logic.
They are playing in the freaking Pop Tarts Bowl. If they were in the Playoffs he would be playing, naturally. These millions of irrelevant Bowl games are just exhibition games at this point now that they have expanded the Playoffs. I'm sure the backup QB appreciates getting a chance to play, and the rest of his teammates all understand why he is sitting out. Its always arm-chair fans on the internet creating these extreme narratives in their mind as if these kids are out on the battle-field and its a life or death situation.
"Back in my day in 'Nam you never left a man behind! Got damn player ruining the damn Pop Tart Bowl for his brethren who are out there on the battle field! Them boys going to remember this let down for the rest of their lives I tell you h'wat".

I'm not going to argue over it after this but, I'm positive that this decision was made, and discussed with the coach, prior to getting on the airplane. Hell, they even let him speak to media afterwards.

So, don’t bother showing up at all.
But, not what he chose.

Also, the complaint about how "its all about money and profits for the players" as you are watching 5-7 Louisiana Tech play 11-2 Army in the "Insert-Corporation-Name Home Insurance Bowl" in Who-Knows-Where Stadium is next level hilarious.
Why exactly do you guys think these games are even being played? For the love of the game?

It would be a damn shame if his offensive line quit halfway through an all out blitz. Who could blame them for making a business decision?

Team A pays for performance
Saban got 47 players massively paid for performance at Alabama...by developing them into first round draft picks.
Players don't care about that any more.
A player today...if he has two brain cells to rub together...can become a millionaire in college and never have to play another snap or even work at a job the rest of his life.

What difference does it make? Have you considered that the team and coaches talked about it and everyone was happy to have him play for the record? Or is that not a possibility at all?

I wasn't aware Cam Ward had received a job offer prior to the game.

I'm fairly certain that Louisiana Tech vs. Army is being played for love of the game.

There's a difference between "I care about getting paid and doing my best for my team" and "I only care about getting paid"
It's a broken system. I don't blame the players only, this is just what you get.

It would have been nice had they shared that information with the fans prior to the game if that was the case. That way they wouldn't have had to pay money for tickets, travel, and lodgings just to see their star player in his final game sit himself for an entire half out of fear of injuring himself.

You are dealing with jealous, entitled brats.
Logic and reason is blocked out by their emotions.
Every single one is selfish as frick or they wouldn't be whining like 8 year old girls over this.

That doesn't mean much to me if we lose.
"Hey, we lost that game 63-3, but I got to see our field goal kicker break the record for most points scored in a season!"

Its all cognitive dissonance.
Guys who would never work their real job for free and would give zero fricks about leaving their employer and "teammates" in the middle of a project if a better offer was presented to them getting holier-than-thou about players in a hyper-physical sport looking out for their own self interests in a pointless exhibition game that is literally only being played so that the system can extract every last drop of profit from the football season. No, when it comes to the game of college football these kids are GLADIATORS and should be going out on their damn shield!
Its idiotic. I bet everyone here has taken a sick day when they really weren't that sick. They've probably taken a sick day so that they could attend or watch one of these football games LMAO. But does anyone consider that the "teammates" at work probably had to work even harder to fill in?

I know you feel like you are really important but when you grow up you'll figure out nobody gives a shite what means much to you.
You sound like a whiny spoiled girl.

Oh, I know I'm gonna be important when I grow up. In fact, you'll find out just how important I am going to be when you find me sleeping with your daughter.

And you sound like a man who enjoys Cam Ward's dick. I hope you leave your wife enough leftovers.
