[blue and orange]

If Sanders pulls this one out he’s Superman, this is just too big of a hole against the wrong team but we’ll see if Sanders can make it interesting.

Of course he puts on Giants gear and gets his ass kicked

Honestly I won't tell any kid how to protect there money. He in theory didn't have to play in the meaningless bowl game for Miami. It wasn't a playoff game.

He is a lock top 5 pick and if someone rolled up on him in the 2nd half and he tore something in his knee would there be a huge outcry that cost him millions?

He made a business decision...this is what you get when you make College Football like the minor leagues for the NFL with all the NIL money and transfer portals.

This is what you get...what loyalty does he have to Miami he played there 1 year.

If he was playing with these guys for 3-4 years it would be a little odd but these guys are mercenaries now.

[3toheadmelo]

You either play the whole game or just don’t play at all. Playing just to get the personal record and then leaving when your team mates need you is just weak. Sorry

Yep. College football isn't an "amateur sport", anymore it's big business now where the players get paid and build their individual brand. Expect more of this.

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing a real minor league being built instead of this sham where you're giving out scholarships to kids being paid a million dollars + endorsements.

This is just what college sports is now. This is the environment they created. So people need to lay off the kid. It's not there money and draft positioning on the line it's his.

eh, it's just discussion. were people not allowed to discuss KD going to the warriors because it's his money, his living situation and we're not the ones directly competing with him? lebron going to miami? players holding out? as long as it's civil, and no ones making threats, who cares

ultimately, he was a professional who prob made $1m+ this year and his teammates are technically professionals too. they rely on him to play and win games. imo, as the leader of the team it's his responsibility to play and help his teammates win games, get their draft stock up, make more money in NIL, etc

[Deeeez Knicks]

Playing the first half and sitting out the 2nd, is a little concerning. I dont know if it sways the decision either way though. Its a different day and era.

Colts at least have something to play for. Jonathon Taylor + Indy Def alone should make it another easy L for the giants.

I'm sorry nobody cares about the whatchamacallitbowl...meaningless game. If anything it raised his draft stock. Iowa State has one of the best pass defenses in the country and he carved them up with no name WR's.

Nabers got his records and was taken out of the 2nd half of his bowl game and no one cared.

I just feel its a weak talking point. Because the current environment that college football has set has put these kids in this situation to make business decisions. And I'm going to put myself in his shoes. He is basically a zero star coming from a family with no money. To tell him to tough it out and play and risk his future in a meaningless game after he showed out for a half, nah thats not it.

Playing the first half and looking great or playing the whole game and looking terrible? which do you choose.

Its what college football has set up for guys to continue to make business decisions. Nabers got his records last year and didn't play in the 2nd half of his meaningless bowl game. This is a nothing burger IMO.

This is the environment that has been created after decades of the NCAA and these schools making money over fist on the backs of student athletes.

The call should be to get the money out of "student athletics" and establishing a legit minor league system for pro football. Then you wouldn't see this stuff.

I can't expect some kid to not put himself and his future first in these situations. The entire NCAA D1 is a sham, always has been, and people shouldn't be shocked when young men treat it as such.

Shedeur was not good last night but I have a profound respect for him and Hunter for playing in last nights game. Shedeur took a beating and played the entire game. BYU should probably be playing for a national championship btw.
