Michigan’s Hutchinson

If it was a playoff game, they would owe it to their teammates to be there. And I believe that they would have been.
Interesting point. I see both sides and am convinced the current bowl system will be replaced by an expanded playoff format. Watching the Rose Bowl and see 4 OSU players sitting out due to the NFL draft. Sad day when the Rose Bowl isn’t important

like I said before, I'm all for them opting if they want. I'm not sure if I agree w/ them on the field w/ the team. Some schools let them and some don't
 
Couple of years ago no one opted out of any bowl games.

In a couple of years it'll be in the middle of the season. Why not? As soon as you feel you have secured a position in the draft the only thing that will change that is the combine.

Whoa.. hold the phone.

I get both sides of this issue, and I'm not passionate about either. Who the h*ll is posting "David and George are for some reason not real Purdue guys"??

Where is this?

There’s opt-outs and flunk-offs, and then there’s Broc and Payne​

Take a read of that thread. I took it as that.

Okay. I read that through that thread as it was active, and just now went back and scanned it.

Again, I saw nothing posted (I may have missed it) anywhere disowning those guys as "acting like David and George are not real Purdue guys". Did I miss it?

The closest I found was this brief sentence in the initial post: "For the others, thanks for everything before looking out only for number one."

Not at all how I would have saluted Bell and GK, but not at all as if they're "not real Purdue guys".

Come on, folks. I know I've had my moments, and I always try to keep in mind to at least make an effort to be somewhat reasonable with others' statements, points and positions.

Heck some opt out of the combine already. Some at the combine will only do a few drills and not some others. Some at NFL camps opt out with a hammy, but they’re ready when the season starts.
