Exactly. 400k is a ton for a single Dad. So you'd have to be retarded to add additional risk to the chance of getting 50 times that. I can't believe some of y'all are really shitting on Greedy for this decision.

Did you not read anything during the summer where he was already being talked about as a top 10 pick


yes, but that was assuming his play in 2018. Had he skipped the entire year he would not have been a top 10 pick.

you do realize the NFL draft was on April 26th, almost 5 months after the season had ended.

You are not a smart man.

Kid would have never even been in college had it not been for football.

Kid or no kid college football has given him an opportunity to make millions of dollars without studying or getting a degree.

Should be playing in the bowl game.

Just my opinion.

meaningless bowl game


Was the Arkansas game meaningless?

Was the Rice game meaningless?

Was the A&M game meaningless?

None of those games had more meaning than the bowl game.

I don't think most people are shitting on him so much as getting frustrated with the blatant mercenaryism of the current crop of kids(been going on forever, but used to be handled with a little more class, while they're looking at the situation through P&G goggles and old fashioned(read naïve,) sense of loyalty to the old school

It's really not flawed logic at all.

Greedy Williams can barely multiply.

LSU has given him the opportunity to make millions of dollars without getting an education.

Skip the bowl game "Greedy". Do you "Greedy".

A&M and Arkansas each had SEC west ranking implications.

Rice was undoubtedly meaningless. So is this bowl game.

Given back to LSU plenty???

The tax payers of this state have paid for him to perform in Baton Rouge.

Enjoy sitting out the bowl game Greedy while the best linebacker in the country does his best to help this team secure a 10 win season.

3 more weeks. An insurance policy. About 8% more plays. Heck play only part of game and make it 4%.

Save the narrative.

This is not the right step.

Good luck either way!

Problem is the logic behind this decision terribly flawed. There's no greater chance of getting hurt in a bowl game than there is any other game. If he anything he should have sat out the entire season
So you complain that he’s sitting out the last game because of the logic and you would have rathered him sit out the entire season?

Now that's funny. Are you making the case that ranking within the SEC is more meaningful than the bowl game?

I reject the notion that a game that's not for the championship is meaningless. Who defines meaningless? Because I know fans think bowl games are meaningful. I know coaches do. I know players who aren't risking a lot of money think they are meaningful.

I agree that playing for a championship is more meaningful. But, except for that, this is the biggest game of the year.

And he's doing us a huge favor by skipping out on next year. We'll save a fortune! MLSUGA!

And let's be clear, not all bowl games are meaningless.

but the good news is Greedy or no Greedy, LSU still gets 4M payout for just making the bowl.

So thank you to Greedy Williams for performing well enough all season to get us to the Fiesta Bowl.
