I sorta like us getting a chance to play a decent team without cross and Emerson. We're gonna have to play without them next year anyway.

I'm just hoping we get to play. Covid knocked out the Military Bowl and the Fenway Bowl today.
We paid their scholarship for them to compete. If they opt out of competing, we ought to be able opt out of their scholarship. Looks to me like they ought to have their scholly revoked. They have their reasons for quitting, I understand that, but they shouldn't have their cake and eat it too.
While I can't really argue with this it would destroy recruiting. To keep players from opting out it would have to be incentive based. Something along the lines that the players on the winning team gets X amount of the bowl payout and the other team gets some amount less. That would not only maybe keep a few guys playing but would also make them take it seriously since winners get more.
Not saying this is you but if we?re going to complain about players opting out, we better start throwing out the names of the coaches that leave before the season is over, but we don?t because we worship the ground they walk on and say business is business when it comes to coaches.
Fans worship players too. It's why fans get upset the player opts out. Nobody cares Nichols is gone. Everyone does that Cross and Emerson are.
But this whole what about coaches counter point is fallacy. A coaches situation and players are different. Because of early signing day, coaches are offered jobs early and can take the job then or get passed over. Also fans demand coaches show up at their new job to recruit. The coaches have no option but to take the job at that moment or not get the job.
The nfl combine and draft are well after the college bowl season is over. The players can play bowl games and still have time to train for the combine.
Lloyds will sell a one game policy all day.
