In summary, the bowls game may be meaningful to the players, coaches, students, and fans, but they aren't meaningful to LandoComando, so they shouldn't be played.
Got it!
Realistic impact on Bowl Games

Got it!
No, the aren't meaningful because there's a playoff--the outcomes mean nothing. It's a scrimmage
You can think I'm crazy all you want--the bowls are going to die--we're seeing that already
The players amd coaches certainly won't care if they're playing in the Orange Bowl or the Toilet Bowl. It's the playoffs.
I do think it will still mean a little of something to the broadcast networks, the fans, and certainly the venue/city.
As a fan, it will be strange seeing the bowls played at different days and times than they have been for years.
The Rose Bowl should just become FBS's version of the Super Bowl with all other games played at the higher seed
Nope. The Rose Bowl has to be played on January 1. There is the New Year's Tournament of Roses Parade beforehand. This is been going on for well over 100 years.
Eventually the bowls won't exist at all--you realize that right?
FBS playoff will become like the FCS playoff--we'll have at least 14 in 2026 then at least 20 in 2028.
The Rose Bowl wouldn't be played on the first in any scenario at that point.
Traditions die--that's life--the only one that's likely to stay intact is Army-Navy. Everything else is temporary.
Even though the NY6 games are playoff games, fans are likely to stay shorter to save some bucks for the next round of games.

LandoComando rejoices. Hopefully we see some PSU kids do this as the season progresses!
Tv money goes up, but no question that ticket sales and local economic impact overall will be diminished. Traveling for three to four games is not feasible for most.

Whoa. That was about as predictable as the sun rising in the east. In fact, I predicted it yesterday morning in post #19 above in this very thread.
This is a significant development...and this kid won't be the last, believe me.
Lol this is about a RS...not their record
You and others need to comprehend the rules before commenting
Of course it's no. He's transferring and protecting the red shirt. That's his right
Don't be so naive. The question is not his RS. The question is where will he be playing next year. Hint: it won't be Louisville.
An equally important point is that you can expect more guys to start going this route now when their teams have been eliminated from playoff contention. The rationale is similar to sitting out bowls. The same arguments apply.
So, he's quitting.
Hopefully all his credits transfer to where ever he ends up next! Hahahaha, what a joke college football has become.
The point I've been making to Lando for over two years now as he blathers on about the bowls being meaningless, which by the way they now largely are outside the playoffs, is that the same new rules of the road can just as easily apply to the regular season once a team has been effectively eliminated from playoff contention.
We're seeing this now in its various manifestations, to include how the redshirt rules are being navigated, and we're going to see more of it. Honestly, it's hard to blame the players for looking out for their own interests first and foremost in the new Wild West of college football.
It's not...its about eligibility. He's transferring. Never said he was staying. It had nothing to do with being eliminated. He wants another year to play. It has nothing to do with bowls game. He wouldn't be doing this if it didn't give him another year to play
College football has always been this way. You just liked it better when the program had full control not the kid.
We aren't. We're seeing kids save eligibility. Let me know when someone does it when they're not saving a year.
You think so? Would he be doing this if Louisville were still in contention for a playoff spot and the visibility that goes with it? Somehow I doubt it.
Lando, the sun rises in the east.
((This post is for purposes of a scientific study aimed at determining how many pages Lando will devote to arguing about the stated observation.))
Once you grasp it is different than kids just sitting out because their team isn't a contender.
