I would think if he’s not playing that he’s already decided on the option he plans to take. I understand the worry of an injury but wasn’t that possible every game during the season. Our sense of loyalty (to team, teammates, school, etc.) seems to have disappeared over the years.
This has been my contention. IF you tell someone it’s ok for them to sit out because you might get hurt, well, unless you’re a playoff team, why not sit out way back in October? ‘Can’t make the playoff anyways so these are meaningless games TO ME.’
This never used to happen. Only in recent years have players decided to screw their teammates over and their fans by sitting out games.Here’s another spin on it. When a player who has transferred out or skips a bowl game for the NFL, that’s a chance for a younger player to get real game reps against a similar caliber team. This gives the coaches game film on a player they may not have had otherwise which can help with player development in the spring because now coaches see what specifically needs more development that you don’t necessarily get in practice.
Take Caleb Williams for example, how does he benefit or USC benefit long term from him playing against Louisville in the Holiday Bowl? If he played, USC has a better shot at going 8-5 this season. They don’t care because this season was already a massive disappointment for them. Playing a younger QB to see if they still need to find one in the portal is going to be a bigger longterm benefit to USC than Williams playing in their bowl game.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Couldn’t Caleb then decided to quit on October 30 then or whenever? I still think it’s dirty and ultimately could hurt fan support of a team.

I think USC going 7-5 this year had a much bigger impact on their fan support this season than Caleb Williams not playing in a bowl game their fan base doesn’t care about. USC’s fanbase expects to play for national championships and when they fall way short of that goal like this season, their fans aren’t going to care as much. Making a bowl game at Kansas is a much bigger deal than making one at USC.
Imagine if KU basketball enters a season as a Final Four favorite, but things happen and the team ends up in the NIT for whatever reason. Do you really think this fanbase is going to care about the NIT in that situation? Now imagine that team also has a player that’s going to be a top 3 pick in the NBA draft. If you’re that player, why do you care about a 2nd tier tournament when that result is far below team expectations entering the season?
College is meant to prepare and train a person for a professional career regardless of the field is it not? Players like Caleb Williams make business decisions on where to go based on where they believe will best prepare them for the NFL. It’s a different mindset and mentality from a fan and it’s always been that way. Rules changes just mean it’s much more out in the open now instead of behind closed doors. If I grew up in Kansas a diehard Jayhawk fan, but my career ambition has always been to be a veterinarian, I’m ultimately not going to go to KU because KU doesn’t have that program. I would be going to KSU because they’re the school in Kansas with a veterinarian program.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Well for goodness sakes, glad you didn’t go to veterinarian school then!
-
Well dam heard on TOS and hope to GOD it’s not true , but heard been reported by multiple sources that Bean woke up feeling sick this morning, probably why the line dropped from 12 1/2 to 9 1/2 - -MAN what luck if true
-
The line has jumped closer UNLV and rumors are spreading that Jason Bean is very sick as of mid day.

Late December football is better than the alternative! There’s literally only 3 basketball games today in NCAA. Looks like the game on now is going to end on time so we’re not gonna have to ESPNews it to start!
I’m predicting a rousing KU victory by about 24 points. Trick plays galore, big plays, turnovers, announcers gushing about Lance and I guess the UNLV coach. They’ll somehow work several KU hoops references in there.
-
Guess I misread the quarter. They’re only finishing up the 3rd quarter. Goodness what is making this game so long?

First half was 2 hours long. A lot of injured players, reviews, penalties, and just general slowness.
-
What happens when this $@%#! Texas State / Rice game doesn’t get over until 9pm? Can we watch elsewhere?
-
Ya, wondering the same thing. Looks Like ESPN+ will have it.
Announcers sure didn’t mention when they just said Up Next, if we ever get to it.
-
YA WE HAVE TO HVE FIGHTS GOING ON, TEAMS SWITCHING THE BALL, THROWING INTS ALL KINDS OF STOPPAGE
-
I hate ESPN; I hate the 8pm game. Jeez.
-
Ok the ESPNPlus broadcast went to NFL live. Uh oh.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Maybe they’ll put us on ESPN2 then because taht’s what they’re showing now on that channel.
-
Coach talking about UNLV being explosive offensively , got a real stud WR named White -81 receptions & 1,356 yards 7 TD’S - -talks about their scores always include an explosive play, looks like a track meet.
Talks about how their weakness is runs up the middle and defending the deep ball - -well hmmm what we do well - -runs up the middle and deep balls
-
Twitter says ESPN2.
-
ESPN saying KU kickoff at 810 CT and the ESPN App
-
ESPN app took me to ESPN2 like everyone has been saying.
-
Nope. Not on espn2 for me.
-
Ahh delayed. 610 pm for me.
-
Oh, I can’t stand this woman announcer.
-
@wissox I requested that announcer just for you.
-
Wow, great start. Kick it out of bounds. Dumb ass
-
@patoh3 Late christmas present?
-
It’s the thought that counts, right?
-
@patoh3 Definitely.
-
You’re welcome. I celebrate Festivus. Seinfeld reference.
-
Bad ass
-
@patoh3 About to air some grievances here.
-
What about the wrestling?
-
Ok, lets forget about that drive.
-
@approxinfinity What drive?
-
well that was quick , not even four minutes
-
Got the worst announcer in history and a terrible first drive
-
Rough start. Let’s go offense
-
Listening to Brian Hanni now, have to sync up the broadcast to it but it’s worth it.
-
Fuhhhhh
-
Horse Hockey
-
I think the ref needs to turn up his microphone
-
Im probably late to the party, but just saw that Devin Neal is coming back next year!
-
@nuleafjhawk is that for sure?
-
@nuleafjhawk Merry Christmas!!
-
@approxinfinity Yes, he announced it.
