If a pro team already has interest in a player as a high draft pick, I am sure they don't want them to play and take a chance of hurting themselves.
It is easy for us to criticize a player, but none of us know their home life. I understand your point about quiting on your team, but unless you are in their shows, their upbringing, possibly being the future sole support of your family, you don't know how you would react.
Bowls could require that all starters who are NOT injured have to be there or the school is disqualified from a bowl.
No more absurd than quitting with one game left for YOUR school.
