Agreed. My suggestion would still leave it up to the player to decide. It seems that many are already deciding to skip if not in the playoffs, and they are more likely to play if they are in.It would really suck to have a career ending injury in a game that meant nothing but pride. I'm not really sure there is a fix for this problem .
Why only opt out of the bowl games? If a player is going to be a top draft pick, why not stop playing halfway through the season? Also, if they get drafted, they are still at risk beyond their signing bonus, as I don’t believe the contracts are guaranteed (other than Watson’s deal in Cleveland).
The NIL is just the beginning. They will end up getting paid - and not just free tuition, room and board.
