If the bowl games are meaningless, cancel them.
I agree with this... except that it won't happen because of the money involved.

Disgusting. No loyalty. Business decision? I would rather that a minor league be formed that is purely and NFL development league and let the colleges field a team of amateurs. I would get more out of watching the amateurs than watching a bunch of me first, businessmen.
There won't be much money if this trend continues.
I guess we'll just have to agree that we disagree on this.
Just don't be moaning on here come January if 6 or 10 of our guys decide not to play in the Gators' bowl game.
(edit: typo)
There should be a minor league, where the players get paid to participate... but there isn't. If it was your son and he had an injury riddled season, already knows what scouts think of him. Would you want him risking millions of dollars on an exhibition game?
Call me crazy, but values mean more to me than money. I would want my son to recognize that not everything is a business decision. Loyalty to something bigger than yourself is not a bad thing. Or is "In All Kinds Of Weather" just a bunch of BS now?
..........It's a shame our staff thinks like many people on here and doesn't care about the bowl game.
Man... You can turn every thread into an "our staff stinks" thread can't you ?!?!?
The best way to curb this is to make payouts 80-20% for winners-losers.
And mandatory prostate exams for all losers.
I said thinks not stinks...lol.Man... You can turn every thread into an "our staff stinks" thread can't you ?!?!?
I said thinks not stinks...lol.
From last year's bowl prep I did not get the feeling they took the Mich game seriously. It sounds like a lot of folks feel the same.
This is actually a really interesting debate. Man, I can see both sides of it. But it will start creeping more and more into the season and the players will just sit out the last 6 games or their entire senior (or junior) year. Just a further erosion of why I love college football and non-professional sports.
It will eventually get to the point that a blue chip high school player will commit to a school and then never play a down so they can prepare for the draft.
Perhaps we should just let these high school asshats go straight to the NFL. If they can make it, good for them. For those that enroll in school, they have to give FOUR years, not 3.
Pretty sure that idea got tossed around for Fournette, as well. Maybe he should have done it.Just two years ago wasn't that the conversation about the DE from South Carolina Clowney. He should sit out his Junior year, because he might get injured.
