Marshall opting out of the Independent bowl against Army

[BTF69]

There not exhibition games.. If that was the case it wouldn’t go on anyone’s record.. Correct.

Correct.

Makes sense. La Tech is down the road from Shreveport. How much does the Independence Bowl pay? That had to be a factor in getting a replacement team.

Good point.. as long as it isn’t Wisky..

 

[Big bo fan]

Louisiana Tech is in.

This probably makes the most sense. The hometown school. The vast majority of their roster is probably Louisiana or close proximity and can get kids back faster. They are 5-7 . I know they are not the highest 5-7 academic pick.

Should be forced to play if you accept bid. Unfair to that bowl and other team

All 3 of their QBs went into the portal.i would think that’s the reason they opted out.

Indiana Part 2

Marshall. Play who you have. It's about getting younger players reps. The bowls spend money to bring these teams in, buy them swag, have competitions, parades sponsors etc to promote and show off their city. There's clearly damages if this turns out to be a forfeit and no game played

I think Marshall should take who they have left. If they lose 66-0 oh well we all know they lose 1/4 of the team. But to sue them would be unfounded. Best thing would ne to not let players transfer until Jan 1

Wildcat 😆

This is the schools fault, offered the coach a terrible extension so he let his contact expire, took a job at the last place team in the conference. Players were pissed so they entered the transfer portal.

It is your fault

True but that's not today's reality. Not unsympathetic but.... glad they're able to find replacement. Makes sense since not far away so limited travel expenses

Not that I don’t agree on the portal dates . But the other they have no QBs left on n the roster I think this is the reason they opted out.

Iowa played games with a linebacker at QB and won.

Feel bad for the kids that stayed.

I don’t. The players wanted this insane environment. They wanted unlimited transfers and pay-for-play. Some of them were bound to be left behind or screwed over by the system.

 

[Baxter48]

They just announced la tech will replace marshal

 

[Huskers123456]

Marshall should have to forfeit scholarships if they held bowl practices.

 

[jteten]

As long as there are sponsors to sponsor, the games will continue.

 

[drubendall]

Fine marshal the largest possible number you can to cover costs of the loss of the game. If a replacement teams accepts then the fine is offset by what can be agreed to by the bowl and the replacing team.

Put Marshall on a five year bowl probation, but don’t announce it until after the game has been played

Good point.

 

[JDCasson02]

They might have to find 5-7 team to play Army in the bowl..

They need to. That’s bs to make a team miss their bowl game they earned.

 

[JDCasson02]

How can you force anyone to play? I am sure the Independent Bowl can sue them for damages, but I as far as making them play a game, no way.

They are paid now. De’Vondre Campbell refuses to play and will no longer play for the 49ers. You refuse to work are you expecting not to be fired? They wanted paid, here you go. Get out there and play.

They will play La tech it’s been announced

 

[JDCasson02]

They will play La tech it’s been announced

I saw that. That’s good for Army.

After losing 25 players to the portal following their coach to Southern Miss.

This is just nuts and not right.. Look how this is sabotaging college football..

How do you think that Indiana got so good this year? It's bs that this is happening. Kids should be committing to the school. But they're not committed any longer. I can't wait until it's ruled unconstitutional to be committed over a month. /s

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

Good point.

Over time, and the ever increasing pot of cash growing, the law of large numbers say most kids will wind up at the level they actually belong.

That works both ways .The Schools pull scholarships offers all the time. You think it was Bear Tenney or Bryson Hayes idea to decommitt from us. .
