Most starters refused to play in bowl games last year, afraid they might get hurt and lose their ability to transfer to another school and lose their NIL (or pro) money next year. They are professional athletes, period.
Bingo! Powder Puff football has for years been rougher than college or NFL.
Why did he wait to quit at the 3rd game of his last year? Too late for the NFL and will have to wait college football out. Sure, money is money but smells like something more. Is he at least going to graduate in the spring or is he going to mess that up, too?
“...Most starters refused to play in bowl games...”
Yes, look at what 12-0 Florida State versus 12-1 Georgia. Only a few of the starters played in that game. Result was a Georgia Orange Bowl win 60-0.
