The decisions by LSUs Leonard Fournette and Stanfords Christian McCaffrey to bypass postseason games as they prepare for the NFL could be a jolt to the bowl business.Is it a sign of things to come? asked Arthur Weiss, an agent based in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. I would think that its too early to say for sure, but when you factor in the type of financial considerations that these top-ranked players are facing, it may well be headed in that direction.McCaffrey, the 2015 Heisman Trophy runner-up, announced Monday he wouldnt play in the Dec. 30 Sun Bowl between No. 16 Stanford and North Carolina so I can begin my draft prep immediately. Three days earlier, Fournette said he would miss No. 19 LSUs Citrus Bowl matchup with No. 15 Louisville on Dec. 31 to rest an injured ankle.The two running backs are regarded as potential first-round draft picks, with Fournette expected to be among the first players picked.Their decisions garnered so much attention Monday that Texas A&M junior defensive end Myles Garrett released a statement through the university saying he would play in the Texas Bowl against Kansas State. Garrett hasnt announced whether he plans to turn pro after this season, but he is considered a potential No. 1 overall pick.Bowl officials have taken the news in stride, at least publicly.Steve Hogan, the executive director of the Citrus Bowl and Russell Athletic Bowl, said he was aware at the time LSU received a Citrus invitation of the possibility Fournettes ankle might prevent him from playing.I hope its not a trend, Sun Bowl executive director Bernie Olivas said. As far as Christian, Im not speaking for him, but I know where hes coming from, especially based on the fact hed been injured this year already and didnt want to risk reinjuring.Last season, Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith tore two knee ligaments in a Fiesta Bowl loss to Ohio State, and has not played since.Smith was projected as a potential top-five pick before his injury, and instead went to the Dallas Cowboys in the second round with the 34th overall pick in the draft. The difference in guaranteed contract money is about $19 million.Wright Waters, the executive director of the Football Bowl Association, said he understands if an injury prevents a star player from performing in a bowl game.If we have someone who is just pulling out of the game ... and theyre just saying, `I might get hurt, and they dont have any problem, yeah, Ive got a problem with that, Waters said. And I think thats in some cases kind of narrow-sighted, because they might have the opportunity to enhance their (stock).North Carolina junior defensive tackle Naz Jones will forgo his senior season to enter the draft and will play in the Sun Bowl.I still have things that I can put on film, Jones said. Yeah, Im not in that category to sit out a game like that.Pittsburgh junior running back James Conner redshirted the 2015 season as he recovered from a knee injury and battled cancer. Conner said he never considered missing the 22nd-ranked Panthers Dec. 28 Pinstripe Bowl matchup with Northwestern.I just feel like Im going to take advantage of it really, showing the scouts Im back to my normal self and that I can compete at a high level after everything Ive been through, Conner said.McCaffreys Stanford teammates Trenton Irwin and Solomon Thomas sent out tweets supporting him Monday. Dallas Cowboys rookie running back and former Ohio State star Ezekiel Elliott tweeted: I would do anything to play one more time with my brothers in that scarlet and gray.Elliott bypassed his senior season to enter the draft. He added in separate tweets: there is a difference between not coming back for your last year and not finishing your last season.Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said he understands getting upset about a player bailing out on his team, but there is more to it.Youve got to let go of the moment and look at the big picture, which I think is really, really big in moments like this, Bielema said. These kids now have not only the next six months that could shape their future, but when youre paying the money that some of these people are getting, youre talking about the next 40 years of their life, their childrens lives and everybody can be affected by this.The stakes are higher than ever for players looking at professional careers.Its as simple as this, Weiss said. Its risk vs. reward.---AP Sports Writer Aaron Beard in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Will Graves in Pittsburgh and Kurt Voigt in Fayetteville, Arkansas, contributed to this report.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee Nike Air Max Tn For Sale .C.

GAMES THAT COULD DECIDE THE AFL FINALS MAKE-UPRound 20Western Bulldogs v North Melbourne, Ethihad Stadium.The Bulldogs and North Melbourne go into round 20 with 12 wins each, sitting seventh and eighth, respectively, on the ladder. Crippled by injuries to several key position players, the Dogs will look to rebound from two bruising losses. After a strong start to the season, the Kangaroos are trying to rediscover their winning form heading into September. They can make it three wins on the trot on Saturday.Round 21Hawthorn v North Melbourne, MCG.The Kangaroos could claw their way up a tightly packed top eight with a win over the defending premiers in their only game at the MCG for the 2016 home-and-away season. Hawthorn escaped with a nine-point victory over North in round 13 at Ethihad Stadium.Round 22West Coast v Hawthorn, Domain Stadium.While Hawthorn were too strong for West Coast in the round two rematch of last years grand final, the Eagles have proven ttough to beat at home.dddddddddddd West Coast have struggled to find the form that took them into the 2015 grand final, but a win at home over the high-flying Hawks could kick-start their finals campaign. West Coast beat Hawthorn the last time they met at Subiaco, running away 32-point winners in last years qualifying final.Round 23West Coast v Adelaide, Adelaide Oval.Adelaide have gradually emerged as one of the front runners to challenge Hawthorn for the 2016 premiership, with three of their last four games against teams outside the top eight. A win over a West Coast side thats struggled away from home should be enough to ensure Adelaide move into September in the top four. A fourth-quarter scoring explosion resulted in Adelaide erasing a two-goal deficit to run out 29-point winners in round 12 at Subiaco the last time they met.
