Total legend. And if Jurkovec opts out next year, he'll make his 3rd bowl game start, which may be a Pitt record. The guy at the Peach Bowl who had a Nick Patti game jersey is getting his money's worth.

Who is our bowl backup if Yarnell leaves? What happens if Patti decides to transfer as well?
Is this the first year where starters hitting the portal in droves before the bowls is a thing? I don’t like it. I’ve come to accept all of this movement but there should be some restrictions around it so that we can at least have the season conclude.
There are restrictions. You can't officially enter the transfer portal until today.Who is our bowl backup if Yarnell leaves? What happens if Patti decides to transfer as well?

Is it some impossible ask to not open the portal until Jan 2? They need to do something about these bowl games. Nobody wants to play in them.

IDK the solution because they'd just sit out the trip even if they couldn't transfer. There isn't a logical reason to play a (non playoff especially) bowl game for a lot of players, you're basically relying on an emotional tie. Maybe it was inevitable the "post season exhibition" thing was going to have major problems.Is it some impossible ask to not open the portal until Jan 2?

Except for about 15 teams, every game is a meaningless exhibition.IDK the solution because they'd just sit out the trip even if they couldn't transfer.

Coaches are on the move right after the season ends. Some looking for other opportunities, while some staffs are flushed out. It would be really hypocritical to ask players to put their futures on hold while everyone else is taking care of theirs.Is it some impossible ask to not open the portal until Jan 2?

I imagine coaches like to have a general feel for who is transferring before the early signing period for recruiting. Not that guys don't enter the portal in the Spring anyway. The whole thing is a mess.
No offense to Pat but I think he would fit in more on the Offensive Line these days.I think Pat Bostick has some eligibility left.
Yea of course but so what. You want to/need to have bowl games? Portal opens Jan 2. Play in your bowl game or opt out but no recruiting for you!
What is the logical reason for a lot of players with aspirations to play in the NFL to continue to play after they are eliminated from their conference title game?IDK the solution because they'd just sit out the trip even if they couldn't transfer.

For the better players, improve their draft stock. But I understand your point, and at some point we may see more elite players opt out end portions of seasons.What is the logical reason for a lot of players with aspirations to play in the NFL to continue to play after they are eliminated from their conference title game?
Well then also eliminate the early signing period. Don't let athletes enroll early in college (or at least make them pay their own way and not get a scholarship for the spring semester), and let them be normal high school students for the end of their senior years.I'm saying that the guys who are entering the portal now kind of let the coaches know how many recruits they are able to sign in two weeks.
