Paulie is 1000% correct!! They should have to finish out the season & the bowl game should be considered the end of the season. He's also right that making the Playoffs & playing extra games should be negotiated as escalator clauses to pay them more for each extra Playoff game they play through
TV ratings for these Bowl Games were in the toilet well before the transfer portal became hot news. It's only now going to be more of a big deal cause of the new playoff format starting this season... Even though the local cities who host these bowls make good money, it'll be interesting to see moving forward if CFB continues to entertain these off-brand bowl games knowing 90% of the fanbase is really only tuning in for the Playoff Games
This is nothing. Wait for when “Team A” has “Player A” get approached by “Team B” whom they are playing in the playoffs and “Team B” offers “Player A” a substantial amount of money to come play for them next year and not play in the playoff game.
It’s amazing (and I’m not including you in this at all) when people are shocked that greed eventually ruins the thing it is involved with Greed ruins everything eventually if left unchecked It’s the same story throughout history And it seems like people are shocked that the players want maximum money for minimum work and responsibility Of course they do! The coaches want the same thing It’s just part of our innate human makeup If there are no consequences and the gambling continues to invade sports It will ruin them eventually Now some people have different definitions of “ruined” But I think all professional sports are suffering from the same issue and at its base it is called greed. Baseball seems to have the best work ethic among its participants But it’s starting to break down because guys are on a different team every 2-3 years So loyalty goes away Pride is soon to follow And then it just falls apart.
You do realize the Semifinals & National Championship game are all 3 bowl games, right?? They're rotated between the Sugar, Fiesta, Rose, Orange & Cotton Bowl's
They should do away with probably 70% of these bowl games because they’re pretty insignificant. You have teams in there with a 500 record. It’s kinda like the NIT in basketball.
The four big bowl games are quarterfinal games in the playoffs. Other than that yeah can't blame players for sitting out especially if they're going in the upcoming draft.
I bet those NIL deals have little to do with actually playing in the games. It says it in the title of the deal Name, Image and Likeness. None of those have anything to do with playing games
If you want kids in bowl games either have the bowl pay them as a nil deal or say in nil contract you don't get the money if you skip bowl

Uh, the Pop-Tart and Duke's Mayo bowls were both awesome last year.
I missed the Mayo Bowl but I caught the Pop-tart Bowl. It was 2 ranked teams & it wasn't an all-timer but it was a good game
It felt like Dan was explaining things to a Toddler with Seton in this segment. I agree with Dan on this.
Sooner or later kids are going to sit out high school games
I'm sure they already do. The question is, will players in the top 12 skip the playoffs ?
my brother in law has a ring for the R + L carriers bowl.
Its become so sloppy and disorganized, and watching these bowls now are feeling a JV game with the transfer portal open before the bowl games.
Why risk millions... opt out fellas.

I have not watched a Bowl game in years 😅😆😂🤔

It’s also a business for the fans. If the best players don’t play… if the game isn’t worth watching… Why go? Why watch?

What's happening???
It's the transfer portal! It's outta control!!
Wait until boosters from bowl games pay for the player on the other team to sit out…
Just cancel everything 😢 I can't stand it anymore!
The guys look worn out in this clip. Hope a nice break over the holidays will help.

JEANTY isn't playing. Playoffs are a joke
Haha, must be frustrating to be a college football fan 😁
I like both and cfb is a dumpster fire
NIL is making college players so dislikable.
These kids get a free ride to college and they want more 🙄
Pop Tart Bowl 😊
Weedeater Bowl 😂
The Toilet 🚽 Bowl is what these games are
And kids need too get payed . Ncaa gets millions. Why would you play . If you get you hurt in bowl game or playoff it cost you millions
USC's whole team is Opting out it looks like by transferring.
