I honestly have no problem with the opt-outs of meaningless bowls. I'd prefer they play.
I tell you this - if my kid was suddenly offered the job as drummer in the Foo Fighters, he would be skipping out on the Valdosta State Marching Band ASAP. I don't care if they are leaving for Texas to play at the DII Title game on Saturday, his ass would be on a a plane to whatever city the Foos are in tonight.
