What will it look like?

Michigan might just opt out and pay the $500K

Love the sleeveless look.  The games where Biff was Michigan's stand in coach were actually some of the better ones on offense.  Being a very young team they need the practice.  No chance they buy out of the Citrus bowl.
A decade of Victory over Penn State.

All in since 1969

See above.

He was interim for the game Sherrone was suspended.

The ST coach was just hired a week ago, so that ain't happening.

Unless Lloyd Carr wants to pull a Barry

If "we" restarted treating bowl games somewhat like a Spring game, it would all make some sense.

I'd rather the "final" poll and regular season mythical national championship go back to being awarded before the bowls and the playoff

opps, wrong thread

I saw someone say it would be fun if early enrolees were allowed to play.  Maybe some elite WRs could hold up.  Good luck sticking a 17 year old OL out there after 2 weeks of practice.

I think for every player who opts out, the team should be forced to start an alumni. Nobody under the age of 40, and nobody who was ever on athletic scholarship at the school. 

It would be ridiculous and terrible... But c'mon... If Purdue made a bowl and you knew *I* was going to be out there... You'd all watch :57:

I think we all figured this opt out thing would be another nail in the bowl games.
