I was checking out a bowl opt out list and I'm disappointing to see that B.C.'s star pass rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku has not opted out for the draft. He's expected to be a first round pick. He could be a major problem for our offense. Our opt outs aren't listed on this list. Michigan lost several players, but almost all of them are projected first rounders.

This other tracker includes portal transfers. It appears that the Huskers were barely affected by the portal compared to some teams. Tim Beck has half his team in the portal.

Do you blame the player? For an also ran bowl game with a risk of blowing out a knee or some other injury. In a way it sad but in today’s world there is no loyalty to the school

Teams need a separate NIL fund for players to play in bowl games.
This could have been simply solved years ago but the ncaa are cowards.

If you opt out of playing, you pay back your scholarship. Simple. Youre being paid a scholarship to be on the football team. If you choose not to, you lose it for that semester. I dont know how they didnt do this. With nil today it doesnt matter quite as much but still, its the principle. Youre being paid to play football so if you choose not to then pay it back.

I think Nebraska's players and coaches are a major problem on offense. And defense. ;) Just kidding.

That first list is just an incomplete hodgepodge of random announcements. Some guys going to the draft, sow to the portal. But just a super small sample size of guys they think are important.

The second list looks thorough, but it looks like it might be from a while ago. Emmet Johnson is still listed as in the portal, Nate B, McMorris, and Neyor aren’t listed, etc.

Gunner won’t be able to handle him one on one either. We are going to have to help on him no matter where he is lined up.
Exactly why I’m want everyone on deck to play for BC. I want to see how DH schemes this offense. I’m excited to see how he pulls the strings on offense. We got small sample size towards the end of the season. Now with a few weeks to work with. Very curious to see what it looks like
 
Or we could … earn it?
Yes. I know that my opinion isn't going to be "correct" necessarily. With respect to the NFL draft, we've had two guys opt out. One will probably get drafted. Meanwhile their stud is staying with the team. I guess as long as the team can game plan around their pass rush, we'll be OK. Dylan will not be able to hold onto the ball for long.

Yeah, there's a lot of names missing probably from a lot of teams. Just goes to show what a joke the portal has become.

A first round pass rusher? We're just picking up where we left off in 2016 when Derek Barnett bent us over in our last bowl game. Look at me getting all nostalgic.
