It would be hard to rationalize if he was just quitting the game.  Since he is planning to play many years on Sundays, it's not hard to rationalize at all.

I agree.  He chose his personal interests ahead of those of the program/team/fans and the more I think about it the more frustrated I get about the decision and the more disappointed I get in him

Will the program/team/fans help make up for his lost wages if he suffers a career ending injury in a low-tier bowl game?

I'm disappointed we won't get to see him again as well, but the irony in some of you calling him selfish is just too much. "What do you mean he won't jeopardize his career prospects just so I can watch him play for my team one more time? How selfish."
