Hyatt opts out of Orange bowl - headed to NFL

One of the many reasons that recruiting high level talent matters. If they don't come in as freshmen ready to play, then you don't get anything but one year out of them before it's off to the draft they go.

Basically bowl games have become pointless just like they were pre 1968. National championships were rewarded before the bowl game. So our 1967 championship is more legit than ever. With the sit outs you can’t get a realistic match up. Of course most won’t sit out of playoffs id imagine. I will miss watching him but support his decision. Go vols.

On the verge of making millions. How many of us have had that opportunity? To risk it playing in a bowl game would be a poor decision

man, if I had told Mike Leach two weeks ago...."bro, you got two week to live" Would he have done things different?

Life is short. Take care of business, now. Love everybody and make hay while the sun is shinning. Go get paid JH. Godspeed. Thanks for the TDs

Hyatt could have played enough to get the record and then told Heupel he wants to sit the rest of the game out.

Opting out is selfish but playing just enough to get a personal record is not?

Unless Hyatt's teammates are upset with his decision, he's done the right thing. If the team is okay with it, it's settled.

No it’s different. If Hyatt wasn’t extremely close to becoming TNs all time greatest WR then I wouldn’t have said it. My opinion means nothing in the grand scheme of things. But it’s still mine regardless.

If Hyatt doesn't care about the record, that's his choice. If he doesn't care about the bowl, that's his choice.

It's been his work and his teammate's work that got him where he is, so the only worthwhile opinions about his decision to out out are his and his teammate's opinions.

We know his, obviously. As far as I have seen, none of his teammates are pissed off. It's settled.

"I am dumb but have a right to be dumb."

Congrats on that profound comment. Par for the course

Congratulations to Hyatt on a great career and season. Becoming the University’s first Biletnikoff Award winner. Hopefully after we win the Natty he will be remembered as one of the guys setting the foundation for the resurgence of our program.

Smart move on his part. There's virtually no chance that he's able to duplicate this year's production with Milton at the helm. Highly unlikely he could even come close if Milton replaced with a hot shot freshman.

I think you can understand the decision, but also be upset that he is quitting on his team before the biggest post season game we've played in over 15 years.

The burden of the last 14 years is not his to bear, and he's a large part of the reason we're playing the "biggest in 15 years". None of his team were here 15 years, and none of "we", the fans, play.

Broadly, this is collegiate football in 2022.

I get it. Why you keep bringing up the players thoughts on it is baffling. That’s irrelevant to me. I just don’t like it. I completely support Hyatt’s decision. But again my opinion is he should play. So you can stop bringing the players into this.

Question for you. Have you asked all of his teammates what they feel about it? Yes or no?

No. I wish I could. I DO assume we'll see Hyatt on the sidelines for the game because he's still a member of the team and actually scored that NIL deal for his teammate's families to have hotel rooms.

I'd assume with social media being what it is, if someone was pissed they...... ya know, like you...... would voice their opinion.
