changed forever now. Non-NY6/non-playoff games are now relatively meaningless in terms of the perceived quality of a team and season. A completely valid argument can be made that there is now more benefit to a program if they do not play for development and assessment in preparation for the next season.
Bowl games will be won and lost but the celebrations will be hollow and the despair of defeat will not be as it once was. I agree with you they were quitters on their team at the inception of this and their motives for doing so were selfish. But things have changed.
