Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 4475261, member: 173"] There is absolutely no chance schools are going to push players to play in non-playoff bowls as an NIL condition. Zero percent. The impact on recruiting would be devastating, you’re creating a culture of “we don’t care about you ruining your nfl career getting injured in a bowl, deal with it”. That’s called “How to get negatively recruited against in one easy step”. Maybe something if you make the playoff, but that’s as far as any school might go - but I even doubt that. Reality is the ONLY way it changes is if not playing negatively impacts where a guy gets drafted. And skipping a bowl won’t impact where a guy gets drafted. Skipping half the season could/probably would - so it’s less likely we’ll see a flood of end-of-September opt outs. [/QUOTE]
