...basically every other bowl game is an exhibition.

If that's the way you think, then given our team history, couldn't one say that about pretty much every game in every Illini season? I think fans can decide whether a bowl game or win is important to them.

Him being a first round pick...

The implication is that will translate to better recruits? Well how about the Illini fans that die before that happens? ;-)
