Skull Session: Why opt outs could be good for Ohio State in the long run, the Buckeye receivers will be just fine, Alabama thinks it's an underdog, and more.
Players opting out of non-playoff bowl games is the new normal. You are well within your rights to be mad about it , or you could join me in embracing a controversial truth: it's actually better this way.
It sounds cold and heartless, but when you really break it down, there's absolutely no practical long-term reason to even allow anybody not returning next year to see the field in a bowl game. Bowls need to figure out NIL pretty quickly if they want to get stars to show up. The idea that anyone owes their time for free is deeply unethical.Personally, I think the bowls should also just award the players on each winning team a sizable cash prize. I'll tell you what – the Cheez-It Bowl would be a hell of a lot more competitive if a $10,000 check was on the line. And you can just let the networks foot the bill for saving their product and making it drastically more watchable.
Wonder who will step in to fill the void left by Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave: The five-star, the other five-star or the son of the Pro Football Hall of Famer who was rockin' the shit as soon as he showed up on campus. It's always nice to have options.SCRAPPY UNDERDOG... ALABAMA?
