So I'm torn on guys in the portal playing yesterday.

On the one hand, it's very this coaching staff to want to keep that feel good attitude around the place. Reward the guys who helped them get to a bowl, even if they want to leave now. It gets those guys more tape and hell, might convince a couple to stay. It also enhances their rep as a "players coaching staff", they won't try to get in your way but leave you on good terms. Imagine one of these guys goes to another team, who has a player who might want to transfer to us, now we have a guy who has had a decent experience with the staff to the end.

On the other hand, it's wasted reps on dudes who won't be here next year. I know bowl games are glorified pre-season friendlies.l, but its still live, evaluative reps. Get some more backup and third stringers in. Get me some walk ons in. Who can contribute, who is raw, who is maybe ready. Thanks for helping us to get to this point guys who want out, but you want out, so let those who are staying get a shot.

I'm not sure which side I come down on which probably means a bit of both is the answer but what's your lots thoughts.
