I guess it's the end of the bowl era as we knew it too, which isn't a bad thing.

I heard the policy cost $25k and the half million number is either after taxes or tax free. One article said the even with the insurance money the injury in the bowl game cost him $2.8m.

Unless your team is in the playoff I imagine more top athletes will start passing on meaningless bowl games.

And it wouldn't surprise me to see some skip parts of the last season and I am sure someone will skip a full season at some point.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

I did not read the article, but these types of policies are not new.
When I played 1990 Senior Season, there were policies available. I considered it for about a second
as I thought I was good enough, because the coaching staff mentioned it to me.
Reality though I was not a "FOR SURE" high pick, ended up being picked as a free agent
during the time of a 12 round draft. So I really did not need it.
But this is nothing new for the "For Sure" guys.

I've heard that the school can also be the one paying for the policy.

Jadeveon Clowney came close his final year. He sat out several games.

For some reason, I thought there was a RB who did something similar.

I think it was they guy that went 8th overall in the draft. He skipped his bowl game and refused to do private workouts for teams.

His answer was simply "watch the games".

If you are talented enough you can do these things.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina, got injured his junior year, declared for the draft, and got picked in the 4th round by SF. Got a 4 year contract worth over 2 million and he never played a pro game.

That was a horrible injury to watch on TV

Clowney was my first thought also. It was widely believed he was healthy enough to play but didn't want to. It lead a lot of people to question if he likes playing or not, but he was drafted #1 overall so it worked out.

That was Christian McCaffrey. When you're a two time Heisman trophy finalist I don't think teams are going to learn anything new by putting you through a private workout.
