Story: Spencer Petras Sidelined for Music City Bowl



Maybe I missing something. Just because Padilla entered the portal, does that mean he has officially left the team? Could Padilla dress and play in the bowl if he and the coaches still wanted him to?

You can leave the portal anytime before you actually transfer. But, why would you stick around to play a meaningless game for a coach who doesn’t want you?

Hell no. It's like firing a disgruntled employee than asking if they want to stick around a bit longer. If the coaches know a player isn't "all in" they aren't going to let them play it out.

If you own a business, the best practice is to get them out and move on. I'm sure Padilla feels the same.
