If I;m NFL GM and a kid won't play a game out of fear of injury then why would I pay him to come get hurt in the first exhibition game?

Nick Bosa says Hi. From skipping almost the entirety of his last season.
I get it. It sucks. But these kids are taking their one shot to make REAL money, and if there is a chance of injury (aka nursing a small injury or history of injury) they shouldn't play in a dumbass bowl game. These bowl games are about as important as the preseason in the NFL.
The fervor against players doing the smart thing is unreal here. "Oh in Don James era we would kick a guy off the team for skipping a shit bowl"
Friends. Very little about football in 2019 is the same as 1975-1992. If they don't want to play, fuck em. Let em sit. Let them make their choice, and look for the young guys to get some playing time and see if we need to change priorities in recruiting based on the success or lack thereof in this meaningless game.
I bet Jake Butt would hit that fucking rewind button in a second and skip that Orange Bowl. But hey bring on the downvotes
May as well not play, at all. Fuck. Quitters.
Play in the Oregon State and Colorado game, but skip the Bowl game? FTGs.
30 years ago, Players had the same risk of injury. Modern medicine has improved, reducing the odds today of suffering a career threatening injury. Whatever.

$ is money. Players risked life changing money playing 30/20/10 years ago. Stan's deal would be worth close to $20 million today.
Bern Brostek (1st round) and Dennis Brown (2nd round) played in the "meaningless" Freedom Bowl. Fags like Rapp, Bryant, and Adams are too good for the program.
I didn't see Gaskins, Gainsey, Murph, Miller, MaGary, Sample and BBK shut it down at halftime of the Rosebowl.

Adams and Bryant should have quit after the Oregon game. All games after that we’re meaningless. They could have gotten hurt.
Of course they can make their choice. No one her has to “let them”. I as a consumer, can make a choice to spend my entertainment and travel money on things that don’t involve bowl games. When UW sends me marketing emails for bowl games that says I should “witness” the Vegas bowl when players won’t even play I just laugh and laugh.
As long as college football is part of a billions dollar sports entertainment industry and as long as a player who signed up to be part of that industry is on a team, play in the fucking game.

Would you really be going to the game if Bryant and Adams were playing? Lesbihonest here. Was this your deciding factor, or are you actually just bored because we're in the shitty Vegas Bowl? If the latter is true, me too. You could just roll with that.
We have other Dawgs that are frothing at the mouth to play. I'd rather watch the dudes with a future here than some checked out dudes playing soft to avoid injury anyway. I think Pete would too. He absolutely wants to win this. It's still going to be 11v11. We have some young bucks ready to ball and show out for next year. Let's go.

Sure they signed up for this mega money industry... but they get a scholarship to a school. Not mega millions. That comes next... maybe. It isn't a guarantee for any of them. What is guaranteed that if you get hurt, your percentage of finally getting the mega money goes down. I honestly don't hold it against anyone if they sit out. They get hurt in the game, but took one for the "Team" and now their slim chance of making big money in the NFL is even slimmer, is the "Team" gonna take one for them and compensate them?
FUCK NO. But the kids are supposed to risk the inverse, getting hurt all for the good of a team..
Don't get me wrong, I miss the good old days as much as the next guy, but the reality is that those days are long gone, college football is a business. and just like any business, a perfectly acceptable answer is, It isn't personal it's just business, not sure why everyone gets their panties in a bunch.
The logic here is that sitting out a shitty bowl game, is worse than people who FORGO AN ENTIRE SEASON to leave early for the NFL...
The NCAA needs to stop this and stop counting their money, but Emmert is still in charge, right? Make them pay back part of their scholarship if they start skipping bowl games, or regular season games.
Guys can take out some insurance policy if they're worried about injuries. Stop skipping games. I'm pretty sure this took off in the $EC wiht Clowney and Fournette too...

This here. Hate the system, not the kids.
Something tells me the NCAA could afford a "NFL Future lost income" insurance policy for every D1 Scholarship Football player. Then you're insured and have to play through your shit. The end.
Nick Bosa isn’t a great example. He got legitimately injured and was going to be out most the season he could have maybe been back by Michigan or the bowl game but decided not to.
If Eason wasn't playing I'd be fine with Adams sitting as well
Instead our LT is willingly abandoning the qb he's played with all seasons blind side, as he is playing for a bowl game (regardless of how lame of one), that may have an impact on his draft stock and whether he goes or stays

Blows my mind that people are defending this
He’s had a serious back injury and a torn ACL. I doubt he would sit out a big bowl game, but he wants to train for the senior bowl and combine and make sure he goes in as healthy as possible.
