Penn State star is sending subliminal shots to the coaches and teams that are creating a bigger problem in college football
A few college football programs opted out of their bowl games, not Penn State.
In this new era of college football, there are a ton of problems and issues that weren’t there before. The NIL, transfer portal, and College Football Playoff era have changed everything. But the Penn State Nittany Lions decided they wouldn’t be a part of the problem.
With the CFP now in place, teams are opting out of bowl games because they don’t see the point in playing if they don’t make the postseason. And that’s just not true. We saw schools like the Notre Dame Fighting Irish cry and throw a fit because they were enubbed. However, those seniors and coaches didn’t get to have the one last game together they were promised, regardless of what happened once they crossed that six-win mark.
Penn State wasn’t going to opt out of a chance to get one more opportunity to be together on the field, even if the weather was well below freezing.

“I don’t really understand not playing in a game. It was sort of a no-brainer for me,” Dani Dennis-Sutton told reporters after the win over Clemson. “I don’t really comprehend not playing. The opportunity for me to go out there with my boys one last time was a privilege. I love Coach T [interim head coach Terry Smith], and I’m going to give everything for this program.”
After the year Penn State had, with how it started and turned around, there was no doubt this team would seize its last opportunity to take the field together again. Not to mention, we got to see a great moment because of it with interim coach Terry Smith.
The Nittany Lions showed they will not follow other teams’ lead. It’s a bigger problem that could soon take over college football.
