Even before the CFP and BCS, only 2 or 3 bowl games at most involved teams competing for a national title. Players still played for pride and for fun and for their teammates.

Date: December 16th, 2025 9:29 AM Author: Shimmering den Anyone going to the NFL doesn’t want to risk ruining their draft status for an exhibition game. Add in players who are intending to transfer and don’t want to ruin their new NIL which is contingent on being healthy. It forms a real group foot a lot of people.
ND’s Jeremiah Love was saying that factored into their decision to decline a bowl. They thought it’d be a fraud to play the bowl game with 1/3 of the roster missing and have that game go on the record. The players wanted their last game played for the season to be a real game with the actual team. |

Date: December 16th, 2025 9:38 AM Author: Submissive arousing box office cuck not really an exhibition game any more than any game is an exhibition game once you're out of the playoff hunt a bowl game is presumably a game against a good team, at least agree with your overall point, though |

probably inevitable too |

Date: December 16th, 2025 11:12 AM Author: Ruby senate why wasn't this done after the FSU bowl debacle last year?
I ALWAYS SAID that paying players would ruin the sport, that they were coddled and got "enough" perks at the big programs, and I assumed there was backhanded payments to these players too. Even on xo there were lots of people like "but the players deserve to be paid."
Well here you go. Enjoy. |
|
Date: December 16th, 2025 11:17 AM Author: Shimmering den You liked it plenty when the SEC was the only ones paying players.

Date: December 16th, 2025 11:21 AM Author: Ruby senate ND paid players too - all of the big programs had ways to funnel $$ from donors to the kids. One example that happens a lot - big donor car dealer owners "leasing" expensive cars to players for $1/year, etc etc etc
Stop gatekeeping.
Save face? ND was not a great team this year and did not deserve to be in the playoff. |

Date: December 16th, 2025 11:31 AM Author: blathering big-titted faggotry heaven it is inevitable but the NIL currently has this retarded figleaf where it cannot be "pay for play" What you are technically paying them for is the right to use their "name image or likeness." It's not the right to require them to play on the field. This is why it's still amateur sports you see. |
|
Date: December 16th, 2025 1:04 PM Author: obsidian home mexican not a lawyer but seems plausible to argue that a player being absent for his team's highest-profile game of the year reduces the value of his NIL significantly. anyways it's all probably moot in a few years.

|
Date: December 16th, 2025 2:02 PM Author: Gay Windowlicker No its 180 having a big playoff. FCS lets every conference champ into the playoff and it means way more teams have something to play for. And you get underdog runs like Eastern Illinois making the semifinal this year.
Yale even won a playoff game & kept it close against Montana State.
If you're a fan of Wyoming or UConn or whatever why would you give a shit about CFB in its current state, you're locked out of ever playing a meaningful game basically. It destroys fan interest in programs and harms recruiting, it should be a national sport not a regional cartel |

NIL and the portal completely killed the vibe. but it doesn't seem like fans of the biggest teams (e.g., tOSU, the SEC schools, that's about it, etc.) are enjoying the season any less during the throws of the conference schedule but my only reference point is a few friends. i'm not on the message boards or anything like that |
