So...this happened:
Tyler Badie will not be playing in tomorrow’s bowl game. @CoMoSports

Per Eli Drinkwitz, it was his decision to keep Badie out of the bowl game.
This decision makes total sense: Badie has the single-season rushing record at Missouri and is no where close to breaking the career mark of 4,289 set by Brad Smith. He’s an All-American and a sure-fire second-day NFL Draft Pick. Playing in the Armed Forces Bowl against Army - no offense intended to either party - is beneath him.
