Who says players can’t get paid? Sports Business Journal (via The Sporting Blog), has a big list of athlete schwag from each of the bowl games. It’s a tasty list.
Though it definitely makes a difference which game you’re playing in. Here’s what you get for playing in the BCS Championship Game:
Allstate BCS Championship Game
Jan. 7, 8 p.m., New Orleans, La., FOX
Gifts: Nintendo Wii, Madden NFL 08 and two additional games, Majestic fleece pullover, New Era cap
As opposed to, say, the Texas Bowl:
Texas Bowl
Dec. 28, 8 p.m., Houston, Texas, NFL Network
Gifts: Watch, duffel bag, hoodie, t-shirt, cap, Nocona cowboy boots, belt buckle
We wish the Motor City Bowl game them a car. You know, like Oprah.
