TCU, USC Set for Alamo Bowl Clash Amid College Bowl Opt-Outs​

John Henry

Tis the season for college bowl-game dropouts, where spoiled programs with paid-up players decide commitment is negotiable and postseason obligations are just something else to toss aside for the new model of flatscreen smart TV.

It makes you wonder if they’re giving that same kind of effort in October, and it is completely at odds of this supposed movement of making America great — again or otherwise. Do they actually enjoy the game? Is it too much work? Or is your sense of entitlement the only part of the program that never takes off a play?

Oh, well. Whatever, dude. (Insert one of those hurling emojis here.)

TCU and USC, on the other hand, have chosen to play and fulfill a responsibility to the game, the fans, and this new revenue sharing model. If you’re going to share revenue, you’ve got to make it. (Or do these bowl games cost colleges more money than is made?)

Opt Outs
I genuinely do not know, so feel free to flame away. Do opt out still go to the game at all? Dress in uniform but no practice? Stay home and watch in their family living room?

Bech was there last year, but his was an injury issue. Which had folks worried for his draft status as he needed a good show. But he took care of that with the workouts and showed out in that all star game deal.

I think opt-outs in this case means teams deciding not to play in a bowl, not players. But I'm sure some players will be sitting our from both teams.
