I guess that is what passes for analysis these days, which is to say not much. The author clearly believes the players are in the right, but offers no intelligent commentary as to why. There is a meaningful and interesting debate to be had here, but this article fails to do it. Basically just click bait.CFB World Reacts To Kirk Herbstreit's Controversial Comment Today

I agree with Herbstreit. I am going to play whether I am a 1st rounder or not. I know how I am constructed. Opt-out not in my vocab. That said, I don’t tell others how to live. But I can judge them based on their decisionsCFB World Reacts To Kirk Herbstreit's Controversial Comment Today

Is it possible that it's not good for the goose or the gander?
I suppose today’s college players are just preparing for the pros in everything they do. That behavior you describe is essentially how pro athletes act (generally speaking).
Possibly. Just seems to be disingenuous to hold unpaid student athletes to a higher professional standard than their coaches.
I don't think players or coaches should be permitted to opt out or change jobs during the season, including bowl games. I don't like any of it. Not sure how you fix it though at this point short of blowing up the entire system.
Why does the NCAA MBB tournament have 68 teams?
Explain that one to me. The NFL has no authority over college players until they sign pro contracts.
Yep, make a bachelor's degree a requirement for employment. You'd see a whole lot of changes.
Correct! Take a sophomore or Junior who declares for the NFL draft and opts out of their bowl game. Is this a cost to the University? Absolutely! The NFL will be recruiting an elite athlete whose skillset was honed and cultivated at the expense of a particular college. Some expenses will be tangible and others intangible and it will be a one time expense. The Cost Department at any college can produce a fiscal model to determine the cost. Trust me, it can be done and they’re rather accurate. The team that drafts this athlete reduces his year 1 contract by this amount and reimburses the school. I’m not talking big money but $150k-$300k depending on the athlete. It’s not meant to be a deterrent, but a system where the athlete can leave and the school compensated. How many kids declared for the draft this year who are not seniors? If done correctly it will withstand any legal challenge.
Then you’re either an idiot or a liar. No other possibilities, or at least so I’ve read.
I would change kickoff of season to a couple weeks after spring practice. Gives coaches time to get someone from the portal and somewhat familiar with playbook.
These days it is your way or the highway right. So herbstreit is an *** too right? But you know more than herbstreit. You know more than herbstreit when it comes to football opinions. Right? Your so smart. How many high school kids careers ended and never played college. They would dream about playing On a team if not a bowl game. Stop the name calling
The “true purpose” of college football is whatever the individual player wants it to be.
Easy raz, I’m referencing a post made a few up from yours who said if you say you would play in the game you’re either an idiot or a liar. It’s not my belief. I get guys sitting the games out. I also get playing in them. I’m not really a black or white guy.
Maybe it would be in your vocabulary if you had the skills. Have you ever quit a job for a better one?
I know quite a few people that have quit better paying jobs for lower paying jobs. People do it sometimes, just like others played the bowl games at the risk of injury.
Oh. Sorry then, you had replied to mine. They can do what they want of course. Everyone has an opinion and it isn’t wrong. Heck look at the Antonio brown. He opted out. Lol.
I'm not objecting. As stated, I see both sides. I think Kenny Pickett made the right decision. I think most of our guys that opted out made the right decision. If I was "guaranteed" to be playing in the NFL next year prior to a meaningless bowl game, I'd sit out too.
