Like I've stated before, it's funny and unsettling how fans hold kids to a higher standard than the coaches who are adults. So by your metrics, coaches should have to pay back some of their exorbitant salaries if they goose to leave their teams before bowl games. If Grunch left WSU for OSU before his bowl gme, imnsure not a peep of negativity would be heard, but a kid sits out a meaningless exhibition game to protect his body and now posts like above are written. That's great that you love, im sure the kids do to. But a fans love is far different than a players. Same with fans in any sport, notice how players applauded guys like Lebron and KD for leaving their teams, but the FANs wanted the players to be loyal. Those same fans would more than likely leave their company for another if the opportunity for a higher salary arose. These kids on scholarships give their bodies for schools in exchange for a scholarship, but no actual revenue and as expected to play in meaningless games at the end of a season for a shiny trophy so that fans can pump their chests. If a kid like Jaylon Smith gets injured, those same fans just saw oh what a shame andnthen look for the next man up, while this kid has to pick his life up and now face the realization that he just flushed Millions of dollars down the drain. I applaud the players for taking a stand on the archaic culture of college athletics, and not caring what fans who will never be in their shoes and don't know their personal lives think.
