The amount of money a healthy CMac will donate back to Stanford over the lifetime of a fulfilled NFL career should surely outweigh the financial benefit of one decent Sun Bowl.

While I sympathize with alumni who made travel plans solely for CMac's final Stanford performance, it is what it is.  We will still get to see the Stanford Cardinal take on the UNC Tar Heels.  And I'm still going to the game.

I do think CMac should have immediately announced his plans to forgo the bowl game as soon as he declared for the draft, possibly just after the bowl selections were announced.  I'm guessing the AD selfishly told him not to do that.
