Jayhawks turn down bowl game

That’s pretty gay.

Mistake by KU. Surely could find 40 players to show up for that game and haven’t made any staff changes yet. Missed chance to get young QB chances to practice amd play

Hard to re engage kids at this point and is it for a game that loses the program $??

Lame as hell

I imagine losing a silly bowl game like this would be worse for program morale than just sitting it out

So KU was bowl eligible.

Not sure you can get enough players at this point. And I also think there's a point where you say you're not going to go out and play with a bunch of third string guys and not even have enough backups. That's why everybody else is turning this down.

Non CFP bowls that can raise the payout will survive - the remainder will fade out and we’ll see those remaining take on a more $$$ benefit and they’ll get quality teams making them playable but less teams in bowls which I have zero problem with - that said you’ll like have to be ranked or in the T30-35 and at least 7-5 or 8-4 to get a money bowl.. will flip the current bowl conference alignment on its head and shuffles the deck.. this is the beginning of that..

I don't think any of the seniors would play.

Aren't the extra bowl practices more for the young guys anyway? Declining those extra 15 practices is a mistake IMO.

You have to have enough players to at least make sure if a linebacker gets hurt there's someone else to play. You need some backups and I'm assuming there's just not enough interest from the players.

Bears and Packers are more fun to watch. feels like a playoff game. didn't want to start another thread

Why would we decline and the seniors not play?

Bunch of pvssies

So it’s Big 12 title, CFP or failure of a season. Since we declined to go to a bowl game, that incentive needs to be removed from Lance’s contract.

Not gonna cost us $500K, is it?

Not terribly surprising KU Football finds a way to shit an opportunity away.

I have to assume the player numbers had to be the deciding factor. No way we turn this down if we had the numbers

The seniors and others have already packed up. KU is no different than all of these other schools who are turning it down as well. The season has been over. I think it's just too late to try to pull something off. Like I said if other teams could have pulled it off it the choice would have never fallen to KU.

Absolutely. I also don't know about the logistics in getting guys back to practice and prepare for the game, travel, and all of the things that go in to setting up for a bowl game. Now if you knew this was a possibility 10 days ago maybe you could have.

Lance is a nerd. This is soft

I am sure Fambrough is rolling in his grave.
