#WVU RB Justin Crawford (1061 rush yds) won't play in the Zaxby's Heart of Dallas Bowl vs #Utah & instead will focus on his prep for the 2018 NFL Draft.

Sports is a business for the athlete and the team/school. Only people who don't get that is the hardcore fans.

To sit out the Vegas Bowl?

I would totally risk my future and draft stock to play in such an honorable, well-respected game

Oh man I'm so mad that unpaid athletes won't risk their livelihood to appease fat middle aged men who have a weird obsession with a school they may or may not have even attended.

If you're a first round projection. I'm honestly not sure why you'd play a non playoff bowl game?

While I would totally do the same thing, it’s funny how quickly people change their minds on the “sitting out” thing. When this started most people freaked the frick out. Now it’s totally cool, unless it’s a playoff game. Gotta wonder why we even have minor bowl games anymore with how much attention the playoff has taken away from them.

He a pussy!







In all seriousness, hard to blame him. But as fans we would like to see the players play.

After seeing Jaylon Smiths career go down the toilet, I completely understand it.

If you’re a first round projection, why even play your junior season. Especially down the stretch. Possibly some guys are checking out half way through the season as is.

why not just quit in the middle of the season when you have been "eliminated from the playoffs"
