    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.
    The neverending expansion of the bowl system sabotaged the bowl system.

    Knowing you need four teams with losing records before the season starts just to fill the pool is participation trophy type shit.

    The powers that be didn't want the playoff to denigrate the regular season and it hasn't with only four teams. It has however just made bowl games pointless and stupid. If they expand the playoffs to eight teams it will make both the regular season and all exhibitions pointless and stupid, just like college basketball.

    As an Oregon fan I could care less we didn't make a bowl game. I was fucking pissed that we weren't ever in the conversation for the playoffs this year. What does playing NIU in El Paso or San Diego or wherever in late December do to change that?

    He's a white RB. He needs to be given more time for prepping and taking the NFL tests. Some of you obviously haven't gotten that ADHD diagnosis for school yet.

    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.

    Can't say I blame McCaffrey. Caring about the Sun Bowl is the signature of a worthless program, with worthless fans.

    So McCaffrey should have to pay a meaningless scrimmage to fund a water polo scholarship?

    Star players generate so much money. Imagine Slingblade's bank account if Mariota had bailed for the draft after beating Texas in the gas station bowl? The blowout loss to tOSU doesn't happen and sling doesn't get that five year extension.

    Darron Thomas can't even make it in the Arena League, but Chip Kelly is waddling around the Castro district with a brief case full of Benjis hangout out of his fly because of him.

    The NFL can release almost any player without paying them anything. Coaching contracts are mostly guaranteed. Good for star players bailing on shit bowls.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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

    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.
