Captial One Bowl Gifts

[Mr2Bits]

The Best Gift Ever: The Capital One Bowl is letting both teams loose in Best Buy (not at the same time, of course) with a $400 gift certificate for each player to get whatever he wants. Won't fit on the plane home? Not a problem. They'll mail it. And Tebow, the Heisman Trophy winner, doesn't even have to worry about roaming the aisles while Florida fans gawk at him and mob him for autographs. The Gators and Michigan will be there before the store opens.

I'm sure there will be a couple of Ipod and Xbox purchases.

That is awesome.

All of the bowls give perks.

I thought the NCAA was pretty strict about players getting gifts and whatnot?

Apparently that doesn't apply to this?

It's only illegal if fans do it or boosters to get a kid to go there. Also they can't just accept money from people when they get there. If the people running a bowl game give them gifts that is perfectly fine.

They probably have a dollar amount limit that Bowls can give the players... but I'm pretty sure every bowl gives out gifts.
