Kirk Herbstreit with foot in mouth syndrome

[MSUGUY]

I’m not sure what to make of the all opt outs, but I understand NFL potential picks making a business decision. However Kirk just seemed disingenuous in his comments this morning on CGD. ESPN.
I think he’s been up too much, needs a good night sleep!

Very much out of context. He clarified that comment and I can’t say I disagree with anything he or des said.

Well he’s also blown away when players exchange blows, unless it’s his team. 17 Kirk Herbstreit and the brand he represents.

I love that him and Desmond decry these players as what is wrong with the game today. One of them took a swipe at video games. Last I checked NCAA 14 paid Herstriet for his likeness. Also when Desmond was playing Lloyd Carr was the highest paid coach in the Big 10 making 250k. Mel tucker now makes 9.5 million. The game has changed without a doubt, but making it seem like it’s the players fault is absurd.

When Herbstreit played there were 19 bowl games. Today there are 39. If a player has the ability to make life changing money, not just for himself but his family, why would he risk that to play in the Birmingham or Duke's Mayo bowl?

Herbstreit has the luxury of saying that since he never had to make that decision and most likely his sons won't either.
