Are you hanging around for the New Years party this year? Or moving on and focusing on the next step?

Don't expect would hang around for it in your scenario either.

I would do what Brent Venables & Tony Elliott did last year with full Clemson head coach, administration, and fan support. We need to grant the same level of courtesy and respect to high draft pick players who have way more on the line.

Why don't the bowl/playoff sponsors offer reasonable NIL deals to all of the game's participants.
Otherwise, you seem to be wanting players to risk their futures out of the kindness of their hearts.

They can’t offer enough to match the risk of injury and subsequent financial loss.

I agree, in a perfect world. The problem this introduces is what began to happen before the portal. Players on several teams, including ours I would argue, were on the field for the bowl game but loafing it. The problem started when the NFL teams didn’t “devalue” the players who were clearly doing it.
I guess what I’m saying is, in an imperfect world, I’d rather they just go ahead and leave. Anyone that has ever been on a team with someone who doesn’t have their heart and mind in it becomes a drag and is disheartening to the people trying. I’d hate to be a backup, watching from the sideline, to a guy who isn’t even trying.

Sorry Humble, I misread your post. My first statement is about leaving for the draft. The second statement applies to the draft and probably the portal too. Cohesiveness is hard when some don’t want to be there anymore. Tobias (below) also makes an even more valid point about enrollment.

Are you hanging around for the New Years party this year? Or moving on and focusing on the next step?
Depends... Does my current job contract/obligation run through New Years? Was my current employer meeting their employer obligations? Would my working up till the New Year be of value to my fellow employees in achieving a goal or completing a project they have been pouring their hearts into for the past year? Does my new $10 million job contract start after the New Year when my current job obligations are completed?
If the answer is "yes" to these questions - then I'm working through New Years to fulfill my obligation to my current employer and my fellow employees.

New job starts after the New Year but the contract explicitly states if ANYTHING happens to you, the terms are void and pay is reduced to a tiny fraction of original.
The success of the current team project you are working on will not have any affect on the careers of your peers, and in fact will provide an opportunity for a close coworker to prove their skills in your place.

What a pitiful response. You can’t even form a decent rebuttal. Those two brain cells you have must’ve worked overtime to find a new catchphrase during your ban.

nurtured you and provided you with the opportunity to hone your skills in a very competitive environment to put you in the position to be able to get the $10 million contract.

Yea. It’s amazing there were enough players left standing for the NFL to even field a few teams in the days before the opt out became popular and all the players played in their bowl games every year.
There is no more risk to playing a bowl game than there is to playing the other 12/13 games each year. The people making this argument make it sound like every guy that plays in a bowl game gets hurt or at least that there is a greater chance of getting hurt in the bowl game than the rest of the year.
I understand why they opt out and can’t say I wouldn’t do the same thing. But I can’t say I would either. I’ve never been offered a job with that type of salary so I have no way to know. Kind of like saying this is what I would do if I won the lottery. No idea. For those that do, good for them.
For the record, I never have liked bowl games. I remember saying years ago, way before the term opt out was ever heard of, that the teams playing in the bowls were not the same team that were playing at the end of the season. There was always too much time between the last regular season game and the bowl games. Guys get hurt in practice, guys that were hurt get well, guys get in trouble and go to jail (at least at GA). So much seemed to change in that six weeks or so. Guess this is just the next change.

It’s not necessarily that the chance of injury is higher, but the ability to recover is shorter. Pulling a hamstring or hyperextending your elbow in week 1 is vastly different than the beginning of January.
Additionally, it probably depends on when they receive communication from agents and NFL reps about where they place on the draft. I suspect Murphy was told very early on he was already a lock for a top ___ pick, while others aren’t told that until after a successful season.

Its called agents and handlers(meant something different in my day) that every player has now and they want to protect their investment. Like anyone investing in a company/business would want to reduce any risk they can to keep a great product going. Most all these agents front a good bit of money to these young men(not Kids, for all you nit pickers on this thread!) and they want a good return after they get their contracts.

Employer: We are going to pay you $30 million to include an immediate $12M dollar bonus. All you have to do is show up unhurt and in shape in 3 months.
rhettfla: Well, let me think about this. I have a pick up game with my buddies coming up in 3 weeks.
Employer: We won't drafting hurt players. You may consider if your parents, who earned less than $1M their entire lives, could use a quality house and car. And your fiancee, infant and future.
rhettfla: No. I'll take my chances. Don't want to let my buds down.
Respect your posts and picking on you a little bit rhettfla ... but is this how it would go with you? So wealthy that $30 million with a $12 million dollar bonus would not register with you or your family at 21-22 years old?

Not at all. When I graduated Clemson I didn’t even have a checking account. Had a degree, a relatively small student loan debt, an old car my wife’s dad gave her before we got married and a few pieces of furniture I acquired as hand me downs from old college roommates. I guess that may be why all of these discussions about getting millions of dollars upon graduation are so foreign to me and I seem to keep giving the wrong answers. But me and that degree managed to do well enough to be comfortable, put 2 kids through college without any debt and retire at 60 so I guess the other part of this that I really don’t understand why anyone can say they need that type of money. I guess it would be nice to have but not something I’ve often contemplated because it never was going to be my reality unless of course I win the lottery.
And I said the other day, y’all are really comparing apples to oranges when comparing the type of money these guys get and an Orange Bowl game to the offers most recent graduates get and a pick up game.

It will be 4 months min. Hopefully a hamstring will have healed by that time. Thought they all got rookie deals anyways. I may to do some investigating on rookie salaries.
