Sounds like the choice is up to the players. While I would love to see another game, I’m OK with whatever they chose. It’s been a wild year and a bowl game this year might only be a few practices anyway.

Maybe it’s for the best, but I don’t think it’s a great sign that the players and coaches just want to be done.

Players also haven't seen their families since March.

I don't blame them one bit. Let them go home for Christmas ffs.

Boston College
Pitt
Virginia
Stanford
Georgia Tech
Virginia Tech
Kansas State
San Diego State
UCLA
Louisville
Arizona

Breaking: Kevin Warren has instituted a new rule. All Big Ten teams located west of Iowa City must play in a bowl.

These kid haven’t been able to do much of anything for the past 6 months, if they’d rather see their families for Christmas than play a meaningless bowl game I won’t blame them.

Don't see too many teams on that list who went "all in" taking on their conference several times this season in order to play football games.

OK, pal. Whatever angle you need to attack the team and be pissed off.

Not in the least, pal.

Where am I attacking the team? And I'm not pissed whatsoever.

If our program is gonna talk the talk, it should walk the walk.

Nebraska threw it's nuts right out on the table when the conference didn't want to play football. Then again when Wisconsin got a case of ******-itis and the conference "wouldn't let us play football" scheduling our own game.

"We're being singled out". "We're guilty of wanting to play football". "Shortsighted conference is costing us games and screwing us over"

OK, then. There might be a chance to play another game next week. "Nah, we're good"

That was 5 months ago. They have been practicing for nine months to play 8 games, many of them haven't seen their families since March, maybe they have earned the right to call this season over.

This.

I'm not even wanting to watch this 2020 version play anymore, but if you're going to go to get black eyes fighting your own conference for the right to play football games, you shouldn't be opting out of the chance to play football games.

I’m honestly thankful we got to play this year. I’m thankful to get to see Bama vs Florida and pretty boy Lawrence light up the Irish.

If we have in fact opted out of a bowl game, can we use this as credit on future NCAA recruiting violations (a la LSU)?

Players today and young people do not look at the Bowl Games in the same way as a lot of us adults do. Back in the day bowl games were huge but people today look at them like they are just nonsense and unnecessary. So many kids are already willing to abandon their teams when it's bowl time so this doesn't surprise me considering the pandemic.
