Clemson doesn't look like they give a poo either and just gave up a 100 yard TD kick return. Kentucky leads 21-10

If it's not a playoff game or a historically awful team getting a bowl for the first time in ages the P5 teams just don't care. I haven't even been watching these games other than the UNC game and bailed out of that one with about 12 minutes to go.

I can't imagine Bowl Games make much money at all for anyone but the schools. So I don't know why they still do them. Decades ago there were a little over a dozen games. Now there are like 45. The TV ratings aren't big at all. The ticket sales are low. The game will NOT help the location city's economy. The kids do NOT care about going anywhere other than Hawaii or maybe LA/NYC. The thought that it gives coaches more time to evaluate players or for players to get early reps for next season is stupid.

At least with 12 teams next year for the Playoffs you can use some of the bowls for the tournament's 13 games. But yeah ... Bowl Games are pointless. Though some have been great this year oddly enough. I only watch due to betting, but yeah like I said ... some have been very good.

Eventually the system has to die. Advertisers and naming sponsors have to be getting completely abysmal ROI.

These bowl games obviously generate TV money; revenue for the schools and help local economies but come on…these games are terrible and nobody on earth gives a crap about Memphis vs Arkansas, UNC vs WVU etc 

 

and like I’ve said, getting mad at these kids who elect to not play is such a boomer, selfish mentality.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
