I don't care either way whether they play in bowl games or not. The team that should be concerned should be the college teams. It's not like the final exam to determine whether they know how to play football. Obviously they do. It's more a question about whether they care about their alma matter or not and if they don't will they care about the pro team enough which I suspect they don't.
Most players are going to go where the money is.
Too many people get hung up on team loyalty or loyalty to the town the team calls home, but let's face it. These players almost never grow up in the towns they play in then move on to where the biggest paycheck comes from.
If I felt the same way about my home town I'd still be living in Dayton off East Third Street trying to convince you how wonderful East Dayton is even though it's basically a white ghetto..Well, kind of mixed these days, but it still stinks..
Most of these players come from crappy little parts of towns in poverty stricken areas then make it big as the local hero football players never to be heard from again. They have to look out for themselves first because the league sure as hell isn't going to especially if they get seriously injured in the bowl game and never get the chance to play in the league. At that point they're only a sad story about the guy who might have been. Nobody gets paid to be a might have been player.
