Also, Coral the 1st QB taken and in the top 10 over Pickett
Hard for me to see Burks being the 3rd WR taken- but we'll see

But he's selfish for letting his team down in the Memphis Bowl...*
Guess where Burks ends up. Jerru can't help himself. Well Dak could actually use a deep threat since Cooper always seems to be hurt.Quote:

The chances of severe injury are so minuscule loyalty to your team weighs a ton heavier. Sitting out your final game of your collegiate year unless a NY6? Naw. Hell Naw. Leach is correct. What's next; just skip the egg bowl too?Quote:

Most of these players view college as a necessary stop on their way to the NFL. They feel the way about the NFL the way we do about college. Cross has achieved his goal- use his college time to get to The League. It's about getting paid- not playing in a meaningless bowl game thats for the fans and Seniors that have no chance to play again.

I wish Cross would consider Will's predicament without him. I just cannot agree with these cop-opt outs.Quote:

Would have been received a little better than his current position.
Chance of getting injured in National championship = chance of getting hurt in Liberty bowl.Quote:

I don't see how anyone can begrudge a 21 year old who isn't getting paid, while his coaches are making millions, sits out a meaningless bowl game to make sure that his future is secured.
I honestly have no problem with the opt-outs of meaningless bowls. I'd prefer they play.Quote:

And Jaylon Smith said he doesn't regret a thing and if given the chance to go back he still wouldn't change his mind on playing.Quote:

But it's still an important game. Maybe not to you, but it obviously is to him. Guarantee if they were in the Liberty bowl, he wouldn't be playing.Quote:

Do I want Cross to play you dang right but if Cross wants to sit out that is good for me. Gives a younger guy a chance.Quote:

I say fine him, make him pay money back to the university for opting out! The university lived up to their end of the bargain, so should he and others like him!Quote:

The way I view it, unless it's a new years six, it doesn't matter if they shit. Better to get experience for next year. However if they are getting paid through nil deals then yes they should play.
The problem is we need to keep will healthy. Hopefully the next guy up can do enough for numerous reasons.
Player at beginning of year : "hey coach, if my draft stock rises, you mind if I sit out the bowl game as long as it's not a NY6 Bowl?"
Coach : "sure kid, we will work around that for you"
