Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 4919548, member: 173"] Exactly. And that is why there’s exactly zero percent chance of requiring bowl participation as part of the scholarship happening. The current system isn’t ideal, but to get to a system where bowls could be mandatory the bowls either need to be done in early December or schools need to shift spring semester to start in February. As neither of those are going to happen, bowls are going to increasingly be viewed as scrimmages since opt outs aren’t going anywhere. And I get the frustration with guys going pro sitting out - but any school that forces a guy going pro to play in a bowl game is going to have that used in negative recruiting by other schools. And God for if you have a high first round pick get injured and drop to the 3rd/4th/5th round (see:Jake Butt) - that would be devastating to the program. Opts outs are the new reality, and the things need to change that aren’t going to happen. [/QUOTE]
