Kind of funny how players don’t want to play in their “meaningless” bowl game...

But have no problem playing in the senior bowl. Kind of makes you think.

They are self entitled shits who aren't thankful for the opportunities they receive from institutions of higher learning.

Of all the years to complain about this, I'll find it difficult to hold it against them this time.

Most on here complaining probably never attend the school they cheer for, never played football, and never been in a position to instantly become millionaires and could have it taken away do to an injury because the school that makes millions off of you wanted you to play in their game

Senior Bowl practices are far from meaningless.

As much as it pains me to upvote a L1U fan, here is one that is actually correct.

Maybe you missed the part that they are playing in the senior bowl?

Of course they are because they are working with actual NFL coaches there. Can you not see the difference?

What's the funny part?

Yeah, the Senior Bowl has become an opportunity for guys to work into the NFL or increase their draft stock.
The highest projected picks usually still opt-out of playing in it.

If this were the case, you wouldn't have made this stupid post. There is a big difference in playing in some meaningless bowl game in Shreveport as opposed to playing/practicing in front of NFL scouts for a week at the Senior Bowl. The purpose of college is to prepare you for a career, if you are gifted enough to have a shot at playing at the next level, you would be stupid not to do everything in your power to take it.

Maybe players would rather play the Senior Bowl as likely the final game in their playing careers instead of a meaningless game in the name of $ponsors and rigged systems.
It's no doubt more personal to them, and if that's the case I don't blame them one bit.

I did not. I did go to college as a veteran and went to a community College and university near me.

never played football
Played many sports, went to a small school where nobody gets D1 scholarships.

Most athletes, even at D1 level don't have this, its a very small %.
The athletes I was around at college and university were some of the most entitled people I've ever seen. They are complete distractions in the classroom, that's if they were ever in class. They get hooked up and sucked off by teachers and administrators who only do it because they know they are on a team.
This isn't all their fault as the places of higher education have made it worse, but these kids who play a sport and give a commitment, should uphold their commitment.

Not really. They aren't working on technique that week. they are learning a new scheme. And the chances of injury is probably greater at the senior bowl than at a regular bowl game.

If it is not a playoff game, let the young guys play for next year.

Are you somehow under the impression that scouts do not attend or watch the regular bowl games?
The players invited to the Senior Bowl are pretty well known for what they bring to the table.
How meaningful do you think the Senior Bowl is?

The practices leading up to the game are more meaningful than any bowl game.

Do you think more people attend/watch the Senior Bowl or say the Peach Bowl?
What makes the Senor Bowl so meaningful? You all keep talking about the :meaningless Bowl games", but ignore that the senior bowl is about as meaningless as it gets.
And if you think the Senior Bowl does not have sponsors then you need to rethink...
