Some of them get a scholarship, which is nice, but it doesn't put any extra money in their families pockets. They bust their asses with school and football and most of them dont get a reward for it while the presidents are making a ton of money off them. Secondly, if you are gonna have these rules... enforce them! They get to play in the bowl game? Lol what kind of joke is that.. I know the NCAA just didnt want to see their precious Ohio State get crushed and add to the already embarrassing Big Ten's bowl game performances.

I hate the gimmicks of the college game. By that I mean being able to run three plays out of shotgun all game. QB read every time. Either hand it off or keep it, or sometimes playaction and throw it. I just don't like it, it's a gimmick. I like the NFL cause the talent there is a trillion times what it is in college.

Did you see a guy the other night get penalized for saluting the fans? Lol unbelievable. The kid just scored the biggest TD of his life that he worked his ass off practicing for years to accomplish, and some dip**** ref is gonna penalize his team 15 yards for a 2 second salute. Jesus, these kids are excited.. They just scored! Unless they are doing the ole WWF "suck it" or something then keep the flags in the pocket. Who is it really harming?
