Players aren't interested unless its playoffs. Next they will be sitting out of non-conference games saying why risk an injury for a weak non-conference opponent. Let our second team handle them. I hate what college football is becoming. Hope the 12 team playoffs changes it for the better.

I downvoted myself for you so you won't be first.

Who are all the players that aren’t leaving for the draft that are sitting out? No one is going to pay extra money to have a player that won’t be on the team after the New Year play in an extra meaningless bowl game. And no one is going to be sitting out of non-conference games. They need those to build up stats and put out film. This post is dumb.

How about you give every player a million dollar plus insurance policy paid to the player immediately if they get hurt as long as they declare for the draft before the bowl practice starts

It's coming. College football has become a B rated NFL from a $ standpoint.

Neither are fans. Have you read this board? Every other thread just before and after bowl selections was about how “meaningless” bowl season is if your team isn’t in the playoffs. If all the LSU players heading to the draft played, nobody would start to say that the citrus bowl now has meaning.

I do agree that we should be able to purchase insurance for our draft eligible guys. Tricky thing with these policies is they almost never get paid out. We’d almost have to fund it ourselves.

This would be a good concept and let young players develop... but then a team runs the risk of burning their redshirt year.
