Bowl Games and the Gifts...
http://collegefootball.rivals.com/co...144&CID=491578
Sorry if this has been posted. But damn thats freaking awesome. I'd love to get some of those gifts! But one question...I thought that these were amateur players and there giving them gifts? Some one tell me if I'm missing something. |

I like it. It should be a fun event for the players and it marks the end of the season. It's a reward for thier efforts and everyone thats in it recieves the same amount, not just the stars. As long as they are able to do it in a way without giving schools an unfair advantage i'm all for paying back the athlete some because the colleges are making a ton off them. This is one of the easier ways to do that without giving an unfair advantage.

I really don't see these gifts as in any way infringing on amateurism. The PSP might just keep the players out of some mischief. Snacks hardly constitute a major inducement! I think it's neat that one day they can look back on the game and remember getting the football and watch, provided that some schmuck doesn't break into their apartment!
