After the college football regular season ended, seven ACC schools, five Big Ten schools and six Pac 12 schools announced they didn’t want to participate in a bowl game this season. Since then, among the 29 bowl games scheduled to take place, more than 50 players have reportedly opted out of playing in their postseason game.
In the Peach Bowl on Jan. 1, the No. 9 Georgia Bulldogs could be missing eight players, including their best pass rusher, defensive back and offensive lineman.
The No. 8 University of Cincinnati football team hasn’t had a single player opt out.
