We are talking about a mid tier bowl game. You can certainly give the players the option to play, but I think its a disservice to the player.

If Saban lets Bryce Young or Will Anderson risk their top 10 draft status to play in a bowl game, he should be slammed. Every coach that risks their player's health when they are a projected first round pick, should be required to talk to Jaylon Smith from Notre Dame. He went from projected top 5 pick to a 2nd round pick. Cost him over 15 million dollars.
So you don't think Youn or Anderson should risk their health for the iron bowl since they are realistically out of the playoffs? Why is a bowl game any more or less meaningful than regular season games after a conference and national championship are off the table? I'm not going to bash players that don't play. But I don't understand why they wouldn't extend that logic into their last year on campus.
