Do you believe everything the tv announcers on espn say & promote as gospel?
Do you believe they're not trying to hype the game they're doing that won't even draw a 2 rating and is in an oversized empty stadium?
Do you realize that espn and its on air & radio employees even have an agenda to continue this charade that there are not waaaaaaay tooooooo many bowl games to create programming, make the network money, and continue to give them jobs for broadcasting games nobody is really watching?
If you answered yes to any of these questions it explains why you continue to beat this dead horse.
The bottom line is you go to college to get a better job and a better financial future. It's why I went to WVU and got 3 engineering degrees. The players sitting out of this exhibition bowl games are accomplishing that by getting ready for the interview of their lives. All have given at least 3 seasons to WVU football. One has given 5 and played the last game or games and wasn't able to even walk right. They all have lottery tickets of some value in their pockets. The lottery office opens next in April to cash them. Why risk losing it?
One other question when DaSean Butler left millions on the floor in Indianapolis with a knee that was ruined, how much did you donate to make up for his loss? Exactly. And that is why Joe Alexander made the absolute right decision by leaving school when he was projected as a NBA lottery pick after only 6 or 7 good games at the end of a season and then went 7th in the draft to the Bucks.
Yeah it's a whole lot easier to make decisions for others when you got not a darn thing invested or nothing to lose.
I wish all those guys well. I hope they make a lot of $$$$$$$ and invest it wisely.
