Player participation for The Rate Bowl?

I hope he doesn’t play. We have depth at RB and I can’t stomach it if he got hurt in this game. It would be too “Rutgers”.
So like many other board narratives, does the "players skipping bowls are selfish, they are abandoning their teammates and NFL GM should question their commitment and consider not drafting them" finally ends when Rutgers players do the same things?
Plus it “disability”insurance, so if a player gets a serious injury, lets say an ACL or something similar and is not “disabled” but can’t play for 6 months to a year, will the player be covered? Guess it depends on which level of insurance is taken out?
To disagree Is fine, but this is not a time for hard feelings or getting even
If Kyle wants to be there as a spectator, or semi coach, fan etc
That is absolutely ok, I think most fans are ok with it
The ACL will hurt draft status so the insurance should be significant
You keep bringing this up, but I feel that I have read an equal number of posts supporting players who opt out.
Yeah, if the coach or remaining players had an issue, then okay, he shouldn't be there. But to me it shows that the program's culture is sound. I have absolutely no problem with it.
There were.
Yet there are also zero posts calling KM selfish and that he shouldn't get drafted if he sits.
Maybe it's just a coincidence and none of "outraged over sitting out" people have posted lately or seen that this might be happen.
Seems "too quiet." If everyone was playing , I would expect to hear more. As such, I do expect a few not to play. And I certainly wont be outraged - its the new norm. Plus, we have solid backups and 3s at every position so it would be good to see some of them play too -
These player insurance policies are tricky. You can get the either at a very low upfront cost or deferment.
The it is layered on payouts based on injury.
If a top pick gets injured and there is an obvious drop in round because of it, it is put into place. If a mid- lower round guy is injured- they may only cover if you go undrafted because of the injury.
Usually, if taken by a mid- lower round and you don’t get injured. But don’t get drafted- they do not require you to pay the premium.
If you do or don’t get hurt and get drafted, the premium is due upon signing your contract.

In my book- KM does not have to play. He carried us here, he stayed with us after last year when I am sure he was getting approached by elites and he is on that practice field right now doing everything else possible to help our team. I bet that his belief in the young RB's that played a lot backing him up this year also helped with that decision as he knows he is not depleting our running game if he does not play.
Per separate thread, Kyle is the only opt out for the bowl.
He’s earned the right to sit out, it’s a smart business move, and in all honesty, he’d be crazy to play in this game
Thankful for all he did for us and his time here on the banks, and like I said in another thread, he will forever be a loyal son
1. You sign an NIL you play in all games including the Bowl
2. High profile players can get Insurance for playing in a Bowl if they want. Wasn’t just discovered by Sanders..been around for decades.
There isn’t a policy around that is going to cover a kid who isn’t 100% an NFL projected starter for the amount of money a kid like KM could possibly lose with a major injury that ends his career.
No underwriter in the world is approving one he could afford.
See a few posts above, I gave a high level breakdown on how these work.
