Cam Ward opts out of the 2nd half

I'm not. I'm a representative for a firm that does NIL consulting. I've been on more than 2 dozen college campuses meeting with administrators, coaches and some players. I've also had meetings with 3 conference commissioners at their headquarters. I think I've got a pretty good feel on the current landscape.
Doesn't mean anything. How does your best friend Saban think about guys quitting on their team?

Hope you are no longer involved in education.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but High School kids are now getting NIL deals and hiring agents.

I just hope that money is being put to good use and kids are responsible with that amount of money that early in their lives.

And now it builds selfishness, and greed
And as I told sjb in another thread. I'm a former college coach and currently a college professor and counselor. The selfishness of every generation born after 1984 is just getting worse. Very good book called Generation Me on this topic. I see the benefit for the individual from a financial perspective, yes. But I don't see this as a benefit for building character, integrity, etc. And as a result, I think we're just going to see a society be less and less mindful of others and focused on what they're needs are.

Georgia is going to attempt to run the ball down NDs throat

Do these practice reports say anything about Rocco, or in his absence, who is manning RG?
A weaker DLine that struggles to put pressure on the QB, puts more pressure on the LB’s and DB’s.

And when you give a good passer more time, he’s gonna complete those passes, and that in turn aids the running game,

It will be interesting to see what the line does on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning

Irrespective of how many advisors they have and irrespective of the familial relationships influencing them, there is no other way to describe it other than quitting on their team
Risk vs reward with nothing at stake. Fans get emotional and believe they would do the " honorable " thing in the same situation. Easy to say when that scenario will never present itself. Take the emotion out of it.

If it ain't no thing then why participate in this discussion?

I am worried about it because the game I knew and loved growing up is no longer the same. And I worry about how this affects kids across America when they see this. Maybe it's silly of me to do that, but I'm doing it anyway.

I will admit I'm very emotional about this. I believe playing sports builds strengths, character, identity, sense of belonging, understanding of sacrifice, and betters you if you're able to come together and achieve things you didn't know were possible. When guys opt out, that opportunity is taken away. Kelly's first year at ND they were 4-5 and finished 8-5 with indeed a crappy bowl appearance in El Paso. But my point is, the feeling I got from seeing that team go 4-5 and finish the way they did, everyone on that team was better for it. I was proud of them for it. Again, am I emotional about it? Yes! So maybe I'm wrong for this because but I want to see more teams do this for both themselves and each other. I want this seen as an example for kids across America. Is this silly of me? Maybe so. I'll own that.

Why not do away with all football games during the season that doesn't have an impact on the playoff? Where does it stop

If Michigan is 6 and 5 next year and OSU is 7 and 4 shouldn't they just cancel the game? No impact on the playoff. We don't want anyone to get hurt now do we

I mean any team that is out of contention should cancel the year as quickly as possible
Dumb, even for you. You think you know so much about the workings of the game but yet with every post you clearly indicate that's just not the case. Being a backyard All American has given you an extremely cloudy vision of the realities of major college football and how it operates.
