I freaking LOVE IT.  The scam is up.  If a team like Cincinnati get called up, how many those players have mentally shut it down for the year and would opt out?  Why isn’t that a “safety concern”?   I kind of want to see a wheels off Marshall team against a disciplined old school Army team.  Maybe we will see 550 yards rushing. 😂

I want to see a bowl get cancelled and college football/ESPN deal with that fallout.

Good. Maybe something will change if it affects ESPN’s pocketbook. You can’t sell advertising for a bowl game that doesn’t happen. It’ll take something that impacts a big wig’s pocketbook to enact some change. I really hope this is it.

If it wasn't a service Academy that was affected, I'd probably just say they should cancel the bowl entirely.

Opening up the transfer portal before the end of the bowl season is ridiculous.

I know several on here have mentioned to move the transfer portal until after bowl games, but if a player has already decided to go into the portal, they still would just choose to sit out the bowl until the portal opens.

The portal itself is the problem. It's pretty much killed bowls.

I agree, but if you push it back 30 days players who plan on entering the portal will just opt out of a bowl game.

A player who enters the portal certain they are going to leave will opt out of bowl games. But some of them may enter the portal wanting to see the offers they get before they decide to transfer.

Last year only 45% of players who entered the portal went to a new school.

If the transfer portal could move after bowl games (unlikely for academic reasons), there might be a lot more players participating in bowls.

Losing a bowl game team because of transfers is another sign of disaster in the FBS.

Bowl games are starting to feel like the first game of next season, not the last game of this one. Florida State hasn't been the same since 24 players opted out of the Orange Bowl and the left-behinds got beat 66-3.

why?  They can play in the game and still go into the portal.

I would love to see us and a dozen others do the same. That's where the rebellion happens. Hurt them at the bank!

They would just bring in a bunch of 5 win P4 teams. Would likely get more viewers anyway. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've said before that they should cut about ten bowl games out.  I know that wouldn't end this particular problem of transfers, but I only think the top half 50% by win percentage, or what have you, should even get a chance to play in them (unless there are so many transfers like Marshall, where the team has to opt out...then you could give a school like us a chance).
