Every bowl gives out gifts to the participating teams. Looks like the MAC bowls have a bit of catching up to do.

All bowls are allowed to spend $500 on each player.

The GMAC bowl is giving Bowling Green and Tulsa sets of Sony noise reduction headphones. At least they can tune out other teams bragging about their Wii's. They also got luggage. So did Rutgers and Ball State, who are headed to Toronto for the International Bowl. No gizmos for these guys. Still, a watch, souvenir football, backpack and the luggage added up to $440. And yes, that's the same in Canadian dollars.

Ahh, Detroit in December. And no, they're not getting a shiny new Ford. These guys will leave Michigan with frostbite, a commemorative watch, a leather monogrammed travel bag and a commemorative football with both team's logos.

For comparison, other bowls give thier teams Nintendo Wiis, Satellite radio, lots of Nike gear, digital cameras, $400 gift cards to buy anything they want, and other stuff. The MAC teams get luggage. All for the same price.
$500? Forget that! These kids will leave Detroit minus the spend money they take that'll get stolen from them!:yikes:
