I don't get it.  Why would you play all season long and then decide to not play in the most important game of the season?

Why bother to play at all?  Or why not play 6 games and stop there?  Or play 10 games and stop?

This is America and people should be able to do what they want.  But as a fan of a team, will I be mad if star players do not play in a bowl game?

Yes.  I would be mad if the coach decided to sit the bowl game out.  I would be mad if Otto decided not to participate too.

Bowl games are already a rip off for fans, and a money loser for many schools.  The bowl system is already sick and was hurt a lot by the advent of playoff games.

This is another nail in the coffin for killing many of the bowl games.  Maybe it isn't so bad.  A lot of mediocre teams go bowling and a lot of the games are so poorly played that they are painful to watch.  But I feel for the fans who spend $150 for a ticket, $800 on airfare and $800 on a hotel, then find out that the best players on their team aren't going to bother to play.
