Idk man I’d hate for them to get a Marcus Lattimore injury this close to going pro in a meaningless bowl game
Jake Butt basically ended his career playing in a bowl. This is her perspective (Via t'Athletic)

Especially in football, generalities typically don’t work, especially for situations like this. People look at one small sliver of the decision: “Hey, you’re screwing over your team by not playing.” “Hey, you’re sitting out and saving yourself millions of dollars.” That is the surface of this decision.
I tore my ACL in a bowl game. I lost a lot of money by falling in the draft. It didn’t stop there. Since I was injured outside of the NFL, I did not get a credited season my rookie year. I did not get benefits my rookie year. I was not part of league insurance my rookie year. I made split salary, which was a six-figure reduction in my salary.
Those credited seasons count toward your pension. They didn’t give me a 401K match, which is almost $30,000. Your total net loss is going to be probably a quarter-million dollars if you get hurt and are not able to play your rookie season.
For me, I don’t regret playing. I understand there’s a long game in life, and I always knew there was going to be life after football. Yeah, I lost money, but I have a massive respect and love here at the University of Michigan. That is something money can’t buy.
Other people don’t see it that way. There are a lot of guys who play football, and football is all they have. Let them make that decision for themselves.
LSU ain't exactly Michigan

Firstly they are making that decision. No one here has any control over it. Second yes people should offer advice when someone is making a big decision. Third what do you expect him to say? Of course you try not to live in regret and let things go. What's done is done. I bet if you asked him what advice he would give to his younger self if given that ability he would say not to play.
