Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Sun Bowel is apparently not important...

    Hey man, he's got a family to think about; mouths to feed.

    He blows a knee, you gonna pay for a roof over his head? Yeah, didn't think so.

    Peak Earning Potential + Stanford education = happy life

    Let's use an example that hits close to home.

    For a long time now Hondo has been a big part of the HH community. In times he has pretty much carried all of us by continuously posting new threads on thought provoking topics and responding to others in funny and intelligent ways.
    What if, right before the big playoff game against Alabama he suddenly stopped posting and never returned?
    How would you feel?!

    Are we comparing Hondo to someone who got into Stanford?

    It's a shitty thing to do to your teammates. Those schlubs you play with have been busting their asses for you and will never set foot on an NFL field. As far as millionaire coaches? Well, they built the program that coached you and your team into what you have become. As far as huge coin being made off the backs off players? That huge coin goes right back into the program. Most athletic departments are lucky to break even.

    McCaffrey is a cunt.

    So McCaffrey should have to pay a meaningless scrimmage to fund a water polo scholarship?
    He should play for his teammates, some of which will be the last time they ever strap on a helmet. McCaffrey's body isn't any more important than the dude blocking for him who wants to golf when he's 58 years old. It's a selfish bitch move.
    He's letting his teammates get valuable practice reps.

    Playing would be the selfish move.

    100% support it.
    Anything that cuts into the profits that the NCAA makes off of these bullshit bowl games is fine by me

    So if a millionaire coach bails out on his team before their bowl game to take a job for more millions that's super awesome, but if one of his slaves tries to make a little extra money he is a POS?

    Interesting logic.
    and that's exactly the bigger story here...the 4 team playoff system has completely sabotaged the bowl system and this is going to be the norm for most of the mid/lesser tier bowls going forward.

    NCAA and each school make huge coin off guys like McCaffrey in bowls and when the marquee player decides to chase his own check, then the attendance/viewership declines.
    It's all well in good as long as my Beef o Bradys bowl experience lives up to expectations.

    The only people that watch the minor bowls are the fans, alumns of the schools participating and Dudes that just want to watch Football. Whether the Star Player isn't in the Chicken Bowl matters not to it's ratings. Because other than the above, Noone cares anyway.

    Well I did get a 746 on the GMAT years ago. So Stanford might have been an option.

    You're also one of those dorks who took the act instead of the sat to not be "mainstream."

    It's not really anything new. Clowney basically sat out his senior year. When he did play he went through the motions.

    Ben Simmons did it at LSU last year.

    What happened to insurance though? McCaffrey has an insurance policy for millions.

    This is good. Kill the shitty bowls. 16 team playoff and to hell with the bowls. I haven't watched a single one yet. Fuck Dick Baird and his 15 practices.

    He's not doing it as a political stance. It''s for himself. Hence: selfish move.
