Sarkisian said he did not know which players would opt out of the bowl game following the Longhorns' 38-27 season finale win over Baylor. It's expected that running back Bijan Robinson, along with several seniors, will not participate and begin preparing for the 2023 NFL Draft.
I don't think it was the Oregon running back who started this trend of sitting out, but whomever it was deserves a medal because the one good that could come from it is that eventually we'll go back to core bowls and maybe even beyond and dump these 2nd tier bowls ... eventually nobody is going to watch this shit.
Now sitting out of the Rose Bowl is another matter altogether.

This is exactly why expanding the playoff is a good idea. Guys will sit out pretty much any bowl game, but no one is sitting out a playoff game.

Disagree. I am one of the rubes who will literally bet on/watch any bowl game, no matter how shitty. Too cold to ski here in mid-December usually anyways. Throw on a shitfest of a bowl with some $ on it and it breaks up the weeks either side of Xmas
