Fagnano and Bell are out for the Wasabi Bowl

An exhibition game? It's a bowl game, it's what UConn plays all season for the opportunity/privilege to play in.

I care about the game, the players who are going to play care about the game, our fans care about the game, the school cares about the game.

They aren't hurt, that's the whole point. Players used to play through severe injuries, some still play through pain/injury. Fagnano, Bell, and many other players who are going to sit out games aren't injured or hurt, they're perfectly healthy.

Why do you watch/follow UConn football?

Read the thread when the invite was official. Reception amongst our most die hard husky fans was tepid. I imagine even less enthusiasm for our team.

Why do I follow UConn fb? I love the program and root for them no matter what and hope we can land in a real league again someday to compete for conference championships. For now I enjoy the games and the winning seasons of late.

If this was a p4 game I would feel more disappointed, though I would understand Fagnano and bell decision all the same.

They're also paid handsomely and they're quitting on their teammates and the fans before the job is complete. Just because that's what some players do now it doesn't make it right.

Both Fagnano and Bell were great for UConn football but let's not pretend UConn wasn't great for them too. Play your final game and finish what you started.

So what does this tell us about Cam, a running back no less.

Is there an Over/Under for total pass attempts in the Fenway Bowl available on the betting sites? If so, I am going to bet my house on the under.

A game at Fenway in December between Army and likely a 4th string UConn QB who has never attempted a pass in college ...we may not even get to double digit pass attempts in the game. :rolleyes:

you do know that the ncaa has no authority over nil contracts nor should they there is this thing called collusion restraint of trade and anti trust

Sort of. There are arguments the players can make, but there are also arguments the NCAA can make. The NCAA and the federal government would like to see something done about it. There has been discussion of a collective bargaining agreement and other options. College players should not be able to sit out bowl games just because they want to. NFL players can’t sit out the playoffs when healthy and face no financial penalty. It is something that will evolve OR bowls will just have to go away.

So I guess the OL guys in the portal are playing?

I have no idea. I haven’t seen any hint about anyone’s plans other than Edward and maybe Fagnano and Bell. So since I have no idea, I don’t make an assumption one way or the other.

What is your definition of a meaningless game?

One where a head coach this season now coaches another team.

It's impressive how some posters are going out of their way to pretend nothing has changed the past few weeks, or that these two individuals specifically have nothing personal at stake causing them to make this decision. The juice isn't worth the squeeze for them. Personally, I would do the same thing.

Imagine Solo Ball and Tarris Reed saying they'll sit out March Madness.

This all blows gnu balls.

LOL, something doesn't equate, but nice try.

I do remember Andre Drummond playing completely disinterested one March.
 
I just find it wrong that there is honor in sitting out games now. People who say well it's the meaningless Fenway bowl their missing the point. There is a trickle down effect. NFL fans who don't care about college football this will have an effect on the draft and the NFL, there will be stunted development and more injury prone players, and less evaluations on film.

So what does it tell you about Cam playing in the bowl game a running back who has been beat up all year who's willing to put himself on the line for teammates.

Evers should start and be told no shoestring passes to Edwards out of the backfield. After that, I got nothing.

Nope. Not what us fans signed up for and shell out $$ for. Seems like everybody has their hands out and takes care of themselves except the fans and NIL supporters.

This 💩 has to stop. It’s not right.

No it doesn’t have to stop. This is on the NCAA not the players. The days of the Rose,Orange, Peach, Cotton bowls are long gone they mean zero. If you buy a ticket know the kid they gave 250K 500K 1M to play also has a future to look out for. They played hard for 12 games on the schedule, all you can ask unless on the playoffs that’s what this crap has accepted, it’s not the same they can do what they want and I for one, can’t blame any of them.

LOL. We can demand that players being paid play hard for 12 games but not for 13? Do you really think that makes any sense?
