Real slim, yes. Probably should stay off that motor scooter too, eh?

Black and white? To steal a line from you, that’s some bull jive.
Responsibilities go beyond a team. You’re responsible to your family. “Mom, I know I said I’d provide for you, but I owed it to go play with my friends one more time. It was the Pinstripe Bowl.”
It’s at the very least complicated. Maybe it’s selfish to want to not jeopardize several hundred thousand dollars. Maybe a few million, especially when that’s not something you’ve been close to in your life.
On the plus side, we know coaches are not people of good charecter. We got that settled at least.
It's my opinion and belief here - not everyone likes it. There is no gray, or bulljive.

Fair enough. 
So we can say, it's black and white, Paul Chryst is a man of low character. College football is built on men of low character, and only the athletes can save it. We can also say putting family ahead of other things, sometimes a sign of low character. 
I know you'll tell me this is saying things you did not, but when things can't be gray, that's a thing that happens. Things lack flex.

I saw mention today of the Senior Bowl.  I was also seeing various and sundry games for HS players out there, Army AA and whatnot.  Is the injury potential less in these games?

I never said things can't be gray. I simply said that my opinion and belief on the subtopic at hand is black and white. 

I happen to believe that Paul Chryst is a man of high character, by the way, but I could be wrong on that. There have been things in the past that didn't have a good look.

No. A player could get injured in any game. Or any practice. Or any workout. Or on any icy street walking to class.

 Well, these are kind of two different scenarios. 
 The high school all-star games don’t really have a direct effect on much.  If I tear my ACL in that, there is a slim chance I will lose my scholarship, but if I’m good   Enough to play in one, it’s very slim. 
The senior bowl is more interesting.  The important part of that  event is really the practices. I’m guessing if someone had really big injury worries, they probably feign some kind of minor bump or bruise.  There is also a good chance they will play many fewer snaps in the senior bowl as compared to actual bowl. 
 The most simple part of it, is that the decision makers who make the picks and hand out the obnoxious salaries feel those practices are important, and do not treat bowls in the same manner. If future employers  placed a level of importance on ballgames, this wouldn’t even be a thing.

Also note that not participating in either the high-school all-star games nor the senior bowl has any impact on your teammates. This is not choosing to play a game with the guys in the locker room that you've gone to war with for the entirety of spring practice, summer workouts, and a grueling season.
Not so sure on the high-school all-star game. But the senior bowl, to me, is often an audition for 2nd-tier NFL hopefuls trying to get noticed and improve their draft stock. I honestly don't know how often the projected 1st-rounders actually play in that game.

Yeah, the Senior Bowl strikes me as a try out.

FAU RB Singletary leaving early.  No all-time rushing TD record for him, I guess.
Memphis RB who averaged 8.9 ypc this year, Henderson, coming out early.
