I mean, if guys start sitting out playoff games - which honestly under the current system just feels like a matter of time before it starts happening - that's the type of thing that could kill the golden goose. I mean, what's even the point of being a CFB fan if it's that obvious that the NFL bound guys just see this whole thing as a forced pitstop on their way to the league? Which is exactly the case for a lot of these guys, but you kinda of have to keep the charade going. Kinda like how the NFL somehow keeps up an act for fans like most players are signing based on guaranteed money and that's it. Every free agent talks about wanting to go somewhere that they can win, etc. then you watch them sign for a Brinks truck with some bottom feeder. LOL

I think guys paid by the collective will soon have clauses built in about play.  Of course, you can always fake an injury I guess.

lol yeah he got the draft projections and said I'll take the NIL money.

I think it's the right call. Can't imagine UGA is interested in him starting next year and he's probably been told that he'll have an opportunity to compete and promised nothing more than that. What is his draft status? Probably a mid-rounder. Hitting college free agency and cashing another NIL check while hoping to improve his draft stock is probably his best bet to be honest.

Makes you think though.  Now that late round guy you're taking a shot on couldn't even pull a NIL check in college.

Yeah, we're finally almost done with the COVID extra year stuff but evidently there's a loophole for junior college guys where that doesn't count against their D1 eligibility or something. We're probably about to see quite a few 24 and 25 year olds who aren't good enough for the NFL but on their mid-20s with several years of college experience they're still good college players. It just keeps getting dumber. LOL

Yeah watching 24 year olds playing against 19-20 year olds always feels lame when trying to evaluate these guys.

Yeah, I mean you're talking about guys who are the age of a lot of second or third year NFL players playing against kids that are oftentimes a year or two out of HS. Legitimately men amongst boys.
