It seems the next step in the progression of this logic would be that Bryce Love maybe should have sat out the Cal game.

It seems to me that we went through the pros and cons of players sitting out bowl games in agonizing detail during the Christian McCaffrey brouhaha.
Players are going to do what they are going to do. When millions of $$ are at stake it's hard to blame them.
As I said back then, I agree the logical progression of all this is players sitting out portions of the season because they have decided that the rewards of a higher NFL draft position by continuing to play do not outweigh the risks of being injured and going down in the draft.
When that starts happening I think it will be very unfortunate for college football. I hope the NFL strongly discourages it.
