I don't know which players might be thinking about not playing in the bowl game, but I have to think that some might be swayed to play in the Las Vegas Bowl.
The main thing is that there's two weeks until the game. That means two more weeks of practice and they will be free to go home for the holidays and then concentrate on preparing for the NFL, etc.
As far as injury concerns, I've always thought it was a weak reason to not play. The chances of sustaining a meaningful injury in one game is really low. They could skip the bowl and slip on the steps or something. I just think there are people with generally ulterior motives that have gotten into the ears of these players through relatively recent times and skipping bowls became a thing.
And make no mistake, a lot of the players who act like everything's great when a player announces that they are leaving, actually feel let down.
Anyway, I'm hoping the current players realize that this bowl means a lot to the program.
