I would like to believe that but who knowsIt’s a championship. There’s a difference. If we were in the BCS playoff Deebo would be playing.

What da hell is a Dabo?Depends on how much we are paying him . Apparently more than Dabo .

There's literally no difference when you draw up the bottom line. Suppose he gets hurt but he helped his team win the championship. Suppose the NFL passes on him because he got hurt and his career is over.
How does that championship help him in life? He'll have a baseball cap and small trophy for his troubles. They will say "National Champs", the other caps will say "Insert bowl game here - Champs"
End of the day, you've got baseball caps. Whoooppeeee..... goes to show you this whole line of thinking is quite flawed. All bowl games matter or none of them matter.
Apparently they all matter to the football programs around the country because nobody turns down bowl games anymore. But there *is* a difference between football programs and individual players. Self or team? Football is a team game, right?
I’m not going to talk you into it if you think “all bowl games matter or none of them matter.” There’s no way the Birmingham Pizza Bowl matters as much as the Rose Bowl. It does not from a fans standpoint, attendance standpoint revenue standpoint or any other area you want to compare it to.
While you consider it selfish and yes there are some selfish motivations like not getting hurt before the draft there are some very unselfish actions too. If Samuel puts on the helmet and jock strap he plays. He is giving that next man in line more practice time and game time. This program moves on next month regardless of if Deebo plays or not.
While you can point to others logic as flawed, so is risking an opportunity to make lots of money in less than a year for “baseball caps.”
There is nothing Deebo can major in at the University of South Carolina where next year he could make hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars by April 2019. He is doing what is best for him and his family. If every player signed by our university contributed as much as Deebo Samuel, we are playing in a bowl much better than the Belk Bowl.
We're not talking about Deebo. We're talking about player X, in college, playing in a BOWL GAME for a championship.
Answer the question: If player X gets hurt and misses his chance to play in the NFL but his team wins the bowl game, and thus the championship.....what does that championship do for him years down the road???
Answer: Nothing. Nada. Zip.
Ergo: there is literally no difference.

If you haven't seen it, you will. All risk is the same if you actually play. Players will wake up to that and withdraw regardless. Their handlers will be able to persuade more impressionable ones not to play sooner - to protect their own (the handler's) interests, a factor that is doubtless already in force. It's coming. This involves a sliding scale of acceptability - a trend that will escalate unless addressed somehow. You'll have to insure anyone who thinks - or claims - he has a hint of a chance at a pro career. The cost will be high and choices will have to be made.Don’t disagree there but there is a difference in the motivation to decide whether to risk it or not.
I cannot think of a player that has pulled from a playoff game but several come to mind from the lower bowl games

I think it's only a matter of time before someone drops out before a "championship."
Nick Bosa withdrew from Ohio State after he was injured earlier this season.
It'll get worse from the current trend. Next, somebody will sit out a game because mama had a vision, or I just ain't feeling it, there was a big party over in town, etc. Chance of it snowballing like a lot of other things. Softness.
