It's so ridiculous. Being bowl eligible used to mean something. Now you have to be completely terrible not to go to a bowl so no one really cares outside of the playoffs. Draft prospects even sit out the NYE6 bowls. There should be maybe 12-15 bowl games tops. Legacy TV contracts are the only thing keeping all these bowls alive. Viewership ratings have to be terrible and most are attended at the level of a HS game.

If you're going to have a billion bowls at least get rid of conference time ins and make them regionally relevant. If you have say UNC and Tennessee playing in Charlotte it's going to be well attended. Have the same game in Phoenix and who's going?

Don't forget all the schools getting the million or whatever it is they get paid for a bowl game. Even with low attendance and ratings, there's too much money in all them bowl games for the NCAA and networks to be willing to give them up.

If UNC loses this game (honestly likely with the way our D has collapsed) the calls for Mack's forced retirement are gonna get LOUD.

Maybe. I'm not sure which team has the most to gain from this game either. UNC had high expectations that went down the gutter, so they probably feel the need to beat the "lesser team", and State is playing for pride at home and maybe the "upset"

      Bryce can’t be on the team this time next week.

      By Jacabee · Posted

      He seems to be a well-liked, humble locker-room presence. If he's not a problem, what's the need to evict immediately? Why not let him develop under Canales without the pressure of being the figurehead. He was benched because he wasn't performing baseline NFL QB tasks. Pre-snap he was seeing ghosts and post-snap not even bothering with progressions. Even when "creating" outside the pocket, he failed to execute baseline NFL throws. The kid looked rattled. It's a combination of the actual hits, the media hits and his own personal frustration with failure. That said, the narrative  that he doesn't have the physical talent to play in the NFL is incomplete. Yes, he lacks physical talent when compared to the elite of the elite, but his size and arm strength are not reasons he can never be successful in the NFL. They just can't bail him out. The problem has been the lack of decisiveness. That's why you see him drifting backwards on his tip toes, constantly re-setting his feet rather than taking a conventional drop. You're never gonna get the velocity when constantly throwing off your back foot. The  mediocrity of his physical talent only compounds the issue. We gain very little by getting rid of him, especially in comparison to what we paid. His value will never be lower. Maybe some time out of the spotlight will help upgrade the Pentium Pro to at least a Sky Lake. Matt Cassell went for a 34th overall pick. Sam Darnold just threw 4 touchdowns in Minny for a 3-0 team. Hell, the 36 Y.O. Red Rifle has the media in a tizzy trying to learn the names of Panther's players to explain why the Raiders got molly-whopped. Maybe Canales is a QB whisperer. Maybe he can turn BY into an asset of greater value. We've already paid the cost.

      I don't think Bryce is the type to try to divide a locker room, so I doubt its a distraction to keep him

      What I think about it won't matter, but if he is not causing problems we have a lot tied up in him. He is a big cap charge.  The only leg the Youngs have to stand on is that the team ruined him. There is no more, crappy coaching, no talent around him, that is washed away. So, he is ruined or he just sucks. Those are the choices.  They have to go with ruined. Not a big selling point. They will understand that the only real option is to stay put and try to rehab. I would keep him the year and offseason at least just for the money. Which he gets regardless of how bad he is.
