They both run the risk of losing millions of dollars. Whether it’s $10 million or $2 million. It’s the same amount of “risk” just with different amounts of money.


The “risk” is extremely low. Akin to dying in a plane crash.

Our "leaders" are quitting on their teammates and not playing in bowl game.

Seems like a kid that loves football. Can’t make him sit out.

Colorado players are playing for their coach. Very different tone, culture, and swagger there. Enjoy the "Alignment" that BK brings.

Yeah I don’t like him. I’m not so reserved about that.

Not everyone has to like everyone.

Move the bowl games to Labor Day weekend.

The CFP have made them meaningless.

It’s not really about what round they are projected. One bowl game isn’t going to make or break their draft stock. Unless they were to get injured of course, which is a big reason as to why they opt out.


Sooner than we think we'll see the first kid in the draft who never played a down of football and just worked on his measurables from age 13-20.

Surely you realize the financial impact. Injury to a top 5 guy could cost them millions if they drop.


You don’t think they have insurance policies for this?

Not everyone does, and they are incredibly hard to recover under. And if it's a really serious injury that affects career longevity, it won't be nearly enough value.

The two-way discussion is overblown because he wouldn't have been in that situation to begin with if he didn't have a coach who was looking out for his best interest.


Depending in which recruiting service you looked at he was ranked as either the #1 or #2 player in the nation overall for his class. I think it’s safe to say regardless of which school he chose there was a better then average chance he would have been in a situation where he might have to give a speech in New York City.

He wasn’t some scrub that got fluffed up by the Deion hype train. He would have excelled wherever he went.
