It's a matter of business.If the leaders of a team aren't going to take too many risks, then why should other players take risks either? Why should anyone give everything they've got? Just give enough to get by most of the time. If winning isn't as important as not getting hurt, then players will never put it all on the line to win.
What was it Nick Saban always used to say? "You go out their and make their asses quit." Or something like that. If teams have players playing not to get hurt, they aren't going to make anyone quit. I don't think any program, Tennessee included, can climb the mountain if that's happening.
If I'm driving what is essentially an exhibition race and I'm an F1 driver, I'm not pushing my luck like I would in an F1 race.
College isn't the NFL. Guys with a future know this.
Why DO guys sit out bowl games and why DID Alabama pay to have Bryce Young heavily insured to play in a bowl?
Because college isn't THAT important in comparison.
