    There will be no NFL scouts at this game. Hopefully the players enjoy their experiences nonetheless.

    That's strange. I read that 50 or so NFL scouts would be at the Casino Del Sol contest. I bet that a few end up attending or at least watching the tape. Should be fun for Evans either way since he was ineligible last year.

    It's because there are draft-eligible juniors playing in the game. NFL scouts are not permitted to interact with draft-eligible juniors.

      No problem. I used to want to be an agent so I know the rules pretty well. I thought this was going to be an issue when they first announced the bowl and it turned out to be right.
