Leonard Fournette decided to sit half a season to protect his livelihood.
I think his NFL career is going swimmingly.

Is CMR a quitter? Since he actually, quit?

If Richt really didn’t take advantage of all the Bowl practices, then I’d say he did quit.

Murdering unborn babies used to be uncommon, but now it’s common. And nobody blinks an eye at it.
Am I supposed to throw a party or something?
That was never uncommon.

From an NFL pay standard, they are all equally worthless. There is no dollar difference between losing a minor bowl game and winning a title, which is why the "protecting future livelihood" argument is dumb.
The point is That’s not the only standard. There is a lot of intrinsic value in a championship. Not the same for this game vs Texas.

Yeah, but you know it's only a matter of time before someone sits out a playoff game, and perhaps even a regular season game. That's technically already happened with Bosa skipping out on OSU. I realize he was coming off an injury, but still, skipping most of the season?
Think about it. Michigan had their 5 best players sitting out of the Peach Bowl. That game might as well not have been played. This is going to get far worse and become more of a problem in the future. If it's just one guy whose a sure fire first round pick, then it's not much of an issue.
I'm not even referencing Baker's sitting out. I understand why he is.

The value is whatever the student athlete places in the game.
The NFL has decided that they all are meaningless. The money will be the money regardless of a bowl or no bowl. Regardless of a full season or half a season.
Showing up for any of the games is the kid deciding the type of person he wants to be.

Yes, the risk/reward % is all that matters to the player.

Which was my point - if it's all about dollars, as soon as you're happy with your draft projection, you should *immediately* stop taking risks at the college level, since, when it comes to NFL pay, all college games are equally worthless.
If it's not all about dollars, then the games have some intrinsic value, so playing them makes sense.

To you, perhaps. Yet there are guys who will be playing in the NFL next year who are playing in bowl games this year. So they put more value on it than you do. Put it this way: for guys going to the NFL, a bowl game may be their final chance to play in a big game. NFL audiences are smaller, and there's only one bowl game in the NFL - and a lot of players never get to it.

Listening to Chuck Oliver show he says few teams use all 15 practices.

Interesting... that must be a new thing then.

This ain’t about me. The players who sit do not place more value on it. That’s the point.

It’s not all about dollars and not all games have the same value. It’s all about risk/reward ratio.

I may be mis-remembering but I thought there was a bowl game when he was here, and he didn't use all the practices.

Probably the nebraska loss

The problem is that the ratio is 100:0 It's all risk. Remember, the reason given for not playing isn't that they are "protecting their livelihood".
