I understand it but I hate it.
And I hate the reasoning people use. "The bowl games don't matter." Well, technically, no collegiate game matters for a pro career once the player is confirmed to be a draft pick. So if they know by Week 8, they should opt out for the remainder of the year. If people are being logically consistent.
Any remaining game risks an injury that could derail the career. Pickett should have opted out of the ACC Championship Game as well if he was worried about his pro career. An ACC Championship means nothing to his pro career.
