2022 Bowls

I like the opt outs. I like being able to tell Baylor and Cincy fans that we beat y’all with our backups

 

[Big Al Rogorson]

Need a severe penalty clause in NIL contracts if they opt out.

Extra exposure for their "talent".

If someone opts out, retroactively pull their scholarship.

Motions seconded.

Against our backups? Why is that a big deal?

 

[Tomhusker]

Okay folks, I have had this thought. Help me out here. I have seen this happen over the last few seasons. These players sit out of bowl games because it is not the CFP bowls or whatever.

Could part of the NIL deal be that you have to play in whatever bowl your team goes to to get your full NIL deal? So, awesome QB Joe Longbombs has an NIL deal with a clothing brand. The clothing brand says if you don't play in the bowl game for your team (that is 8-4) even if it is the Quicken Loans Bowl on December 27th, you only get 60% of your NIL deal. I am new and dumb to the "whole" NIL thing, so if this is a stupid question/scenario, sorry about that. But, could this be part of an NIL deal?

And then the player plays in a meaningless bowl and suffers a devastating injury that ends his playing career. It costs him millions in potential earnings in pro ball.

Y’all were near full strength. We had like 30 guys that either opted out or were suspended

If that is the way of thinking, all games prior were also meaningless & should have been sat out to avoid injury. Practices too.

 

[outofyourmind]

So
You force players to play with increased verbiage in their NIL, and then they play 'not to get hurt'

How the fuck is that any better.
Only play if you want to be there.

I’m just happy that the Gators will get some more practice. They need it.

Couldn't that happen in any game? Look at Hooker, Tua, etc. Saban should have had Tua out with that much of a lead. Was it career ending? Nope. But that could happen in game one of the season. Career ending injuries aren't just set aside for bowl games. What if the player played in the CFP and got hurt on the first drive. Would he still lose millions?

It could, yes. But if I make it thru 4 years injury free, and have a bright future in the NFL, I'm sitting the bowl game out.
No need to take unnecessary risks when there is no benefit in doing so.

Now, if the nil deal includes a big insurance payout with it, I'm in.

No.

 

[outofyourmind]

I'm going with it.

Screw Maryland
We're 4-0 all time with a combined score of 75-9

We ain't scared of those fucking turtles.

Extra exposure for their "talent".

If someone opts out, retroactively pull their scholarship.

Most optouts are done by players not returning to campus.

 

[Kburjr]

Fuck em. They can pay back their scholarships.

That's not how it works.

You don't retroactively give back your paychecks when you quit a job.
