Avoid College Players Who Don't Play In Bowl Games

[*ochocincos*]

Would you care if someone opted out of the Pro Bowl?
Because a bowl game that isn't part of the CFP is basically the same thing.
You don't get any title for it.
No one's going to remember or care that you won it years down the road.
The most you get is some company-sponsored swag.

Look at it this way - By a player skipping their bowl game to avoid risk of injury as they prepare for the draft, it allows for another player behind them to play instead. That's going to be an extra development game in prep for next season.
