maybe, maybe not
maybe it's just one selfish kid

Yes, maybe one selfish kid, but the point @MikeDeTiger is making is that in this new NIL/Portal/TikTok era of College Football this one selfish freshman is now afforded a more impactful array of selfish options in which to broadcast his ego and cause the LSU program frustrating roster uncertainty going into their bowl.

On another subject, Mack Brown appeared HAGGARD in his little Bowl game last night, the flask of Wild Turkey he keeps in his jacket lining getting the best of him while West Virginia shelled UNC as the 2nd half went along.

With Mack back in Chapel Hill for 5 seasons now, UNC is 38-27 despite not-so-hard schedules, recruiting classes ranked among the top of the ACC, and the luxury of TWO future NFL QBs starting season by season.

That's what he gets for putting a hoops symbol on his shirt while coaching on the grid iron.

on the first point - Scott Frost would drink the old man under the table
on the 2nd point - Scott Frost would love to have that 5 year record

Hmmm.

Will players opt out of expanded College Football Playoff? NFL hopes, injury prevention create tough decisions - CBSSports.com
I hear a lot about how NFL GM’s ask players if they love football or love the prospect of getting paid great money to play football.  A player sitting out a playoff game is a sure sign to me they want to get paid more than they want to play.

A player sitting out a playoff game tells me all I need to know about where his head is with football.

As someone who watched a lot of Big East football I don’t think I ever thought I’d see the day Rutgers would be favored over Miami.

Half of Miami's defense is sitting out.  Their QB is in the portal (I assume not playing, but that's not automatic anymore).
Rutgers is favored over Miami adjacent.

Seems like Miami was playing the wrong 2 QBs the whole time

obviously, a 6 win Big Ten East team is better than any 7 win ACC team

They might ask it, but they do not care that much.

Oh, I totally disagree.  I think they care a great deal but it’s really hard to know which guys love the game and which guys see it as a chance to make great money.  Unfortunately, my guess is in most cases you don’t really know the answer to that until they are in the building under contract.
