Just a couple of years ago? Yeah, I'd love for the Ducks to decline this year. Get started for next year.
They accepted the invitation then just didn't show up. A strange move in a strange year ( the year of Covid).
UCLA declined the day of, claiming Covid. But I think it was because Fatty was a pussy and didn't want to lose.
Don't decline the bowl, it's a really bad look, even if some of the NFL-bound guys don't play.
