Yeah, I hate seeing that.As long as more and more players opt out it will kill bowl games... Who wants to spend money to watch your 3rd string players play in a bowl? The average fan doesn't want to see that... They're 3rd string for a reason...
The alternative is, people will watch to see the players who will star next year. But as I stated, other than the Championship Series, the bowls are meaningless. They are used to set the final rankings, but that is meaningless because of players opting out. Voters aren't ranking the same teams. I just don't know if they will disappear. You may be right.
