Pop-Tarts Bowl drama has reached fever pitch, yet no whistle has blown to signal its conclusion. Heisman finalist Cam Ward shocked spectators by choosing not to return after an impressive first-half performance and sparking widespread public displeasure and critics calling his decision “selfish.” Complicating matters further are allegations directed toward the Las Vegas Raiders, valued at an estimated $6.7 billion and currently sitting just ahead of New York Giants as NFL’s least successful club. Holding on to its No. 13 spot currently. Ward was selected with the No. 2 pick in the draft, prompting widespread speculation that his uncharacteristic decision is an attempt to avoid potential injury before joining professional ranks; speculation also points toward Raiders’ notorious internal dissension as possible motive behind it all. Public opinion remains divided: does Ward’s choice represent a smart career move or does it diminish his credibility in some way?
