Anyone who chooses to skip a bowl game should be required to pay back his scholarship and all football expenses.
Start this policy next year. It's more than fair.

I agree with you. I think you served as I did. It is a rock-solid commitment. Most of the younger generation is fat and weak. Look at the recruitment numbers. The younger ones who are in shape feel entitled and privileged. The standards have been lowered.

the people who are sitting out
a) went into the transfer portal and dont need that scholarship
b) are prepping for the NFL and dont need that scholarship
the transfer portal makes a player ineligible and is NCAA rule, so no way to get the scholarship money back for someone who wont be around and spent the year with the team and earned the semester scholarship
almost all schools love to see their players get drafted. it sets a precedent for luring recruits that they too can make the big time by coming to that program.
they would never penalize a player for ensuring they dont get injured in a bowl game and also getting ready for the draft.

I disagree. I'm mainly referring to the new playoff system next year. That's 2 extra games for the finalists. It's likely those 2 teams are full of future millionaire NFL players. That's 20% higher risk of injury with 2 extra games.
Most of these college kids will never make the NFL, especially from the smaller schools. So there's not going to be much sitting out there. But I'm all for players wanting to protect their future and their families' future for meaningless bowl games.
Yes, it's bad for the sport, but they're already being exploited enough. It's only one game, and they protect their future.
It's basically like them holding a million dollar winning lottery ticket and asking them walk down a dark alley in a bad city in the middle of the night. Just not a smart thing to do.
