Players Who Opt Out of Bowl Game

[bucktril]

It's not longer a team sport.... it's a 'collection of individuals' sport.... the winner of the NC is the group of individuals that happened to play like a "team" better than the other individuals. The winning coaching staff is the staff that manages each of the individuals the best.

The winners are the clever coaches able to convince individuals that playing as a "team" actually enhances their personal status. As long as the individuals know that they can benefit personally from the "team" experience then you have success.

For the most part, I agree with what you say.

It is interesting in that, as the "team" concept is eroding across the college football landscape, the military schools--in which team-concept is of utmost importance-- have put together strong performances. Coincidence?

Cam Ward pulling himself at halftime is the ultimate opt out. I think he thought ISU would be a pushover and he could put some video game stats ahead of the draft

ultimate SS and why i answered the way i did to the post about do you follow college football more or less now vs years ago.

If I'm Cristobal, I send Cam Ward to the locker room.

I have little issue with bonafide 1st or 2nd round picks opting out. Otherwise, as a Husker senior I'd want to experience the bowl game and get the swag that has eluded the Huskers the previous 8 seasons.

The memories the seniors gained/earned will truly last a lifetime for them.

I wonder if NIL contracts of the future will include clauses to prevent opt-outs.

Those contracts better have that clause. If not, just pay the kid big bucks to opt out the entire season.

A good agent is going to negotiate the right to opt out of a bowl game to protect his client's NFL prospects.
