Football Rutgers Football RB Kyle Monangai to sit out 2024 Rate Bowl
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
He's earned the right to make that choice ten times over. Raymond and Benjamin will be ready.
He's selfish with no respect for his teammates.
Is this serious? He played hurt all year.
Adventure has a name and it is moron!
Either you make a commitment to your teammates (and them to you) or you don't.
Schiano said all the other seniors are available to play. That is very good and I think is a positive of how the program is run. Have no problem with KM sitting this out. He is one of the major reasons they have had 2 consecutive winning seasons. He got banged up this season and suffered a significant concussion . It’s time for him to get ready for an NFL career.
It’s the right decision.
There’s literally no upside to him playing in this game, he’s earned the right to make that choice and he’s got his entire future ahead of him.
Kudos the Kyle and thank you for your time on the banks, you’ll forever be a loyal son

It’s a business move, plain and simple
And a smart one at that
School should provide insurance for those who are NFL caliber.
You are either a troll or an idiot or both
Heard from very reliable sources that Greg advised Kyle to opt out
If we were in like a new years day bowl or something maybe I'd differently, but especially in the cfp era there is really nobody paying attention to these smaller bowls
I’m not a fan of “opting out” BUT this one I’m okay with TBH. He’s more than carried the load, figuratively and literally, the last two years and played injured all season long. We’ve got the horses in the room to bring home the win regardless!!!
Thank you Kyle for your great years and commitment to RU. Get ready for your NFL shot you so richly deserve. Enjoy cheering on your teammates in the Bowl game that without you would not be happening this year. Congratulations and thank you again Kyle. #RLegend
NJ.com HL…..Greg Schiano benches star RB in bowl game.
See you on Sundays Kyle Monangai!!! Amazing career so far.
It was fun to see Edwards and Burton both score in the same game this past week.

Kinda torn here. I understand the economics. I also have less sympathy now that they're paid. I kinda see it as a contract now. You got your free education and your NIL money. Now play the game.
He's more than likely devastated by this .
I dunno… I can go either way… if it was a playoff bowl, you best believe he would play to get that exposure. I think most other potential “pro picks” are playing in the playoffs. At least take a few snaps and give it one last burst and then come out to a rousing ovation and call it a day…
But I see he doesn’t want to risk it… and maybe that’s the right “business” decision.

While I’m not a fan of the move, as it is what it is.
But I totally disagree with this. If they want insurance they can buy their own policy.
Just like PSU and other players were devastated when posters called them selfish for opting out and said they wouldn't draft them?
KM is just like every other player who got bashed.
Except now it's a Rutgers player so the backtracking is giving posters whiplash.
Kyle passed up NIL money in the offseason to stay here. So, no. He doesn't need to play the game.
Don't you think being in the CFP different than a 7-5 team playing in a bowl? I never bashed any player for making a decision that is best for their future earning potential. On the other hand, going forward in the NIL era, I think it would be wise and fair for the entity paying the NIL to put a stipulation in that there will be a negotiated amount deducted from a player's NIL should them opt out of bowl game, and that opt out amount should be larger for a team in the CFP. Does this seem reasonable for a player who is getting paid to play? Keep in mind, it's negotiable.
669 rush attemps
3,221 rushing yards
27 rushing touchdowns
0 fumbles
One of the best to ever do it. Kid made his family, this unversity, and this state proud. Onwards and upwards.

Sure add any stipulations you want.
Not talking about CFP and PSU this year.
Talking about all the prior bashing of "opt outs" that occurred every year and how these players shouldn't even be drafted because it's a severe character flaw to quit on their teammates.
It's awful and a sign of the decline of CFB that players are opting out.
Until it's KM. Then everyone understands and it makes sense.
Just funny how quick the flip flopping occurs.
And then people being consistent (like @AdventureHasAName ) are quickly called trolls and @$$holes.
I was wondering if that was the case.
KM was delaying a decision until the last days so maybe he wasn't 100%
He's not a lock to go high and could use a good combine without gimps.
Combine got Pacheco drafted and just barely
Blake Corum's 27 TDs only got him to 3rd round with his 4.53 40
Kyle Monangai Unsure If He'll Play In Rate Bowl Against Kansas State
As Kansas State prepares for the Rate Bowl against Rutgers, they will need to account for star running back Kyle Monangai. Or, will they? The Big 10's rushing a

This wouldn’t surprise me at all. IIRCwe had a player (correct me if I am wrong but I think it was Singleton) got hurt when he was declaring for the nfl but got hurt in that Gator Bowl fiasco and the NCAA denied his request for another year of eligibility. Greg was one unhappy camper over that issue. He might not want to jeopardize Kyle’s career.
Considering we only have a single guy sitting out I would say they matter to a hell of a lot of people. Yes.
