The Citrus Bowl will give out the following gift package to all players and student managers (up to 125 people for each school):

Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl: $305 Best Buy shopping trip; Timely Watch Co. watch; EA Sports video game; ISlide sandals; $25 Buffalo Wild Wings gift card

In addition, each player will get $35 per diem pay for each practice (since school is out). This is another $525 in cash payments. Not a bad deal for these guys.

BWW Bowl and the main sponsor only gives them a measly 25 buck gift card to their restaurant?

Should have been $100 card, at least...

They have a limit on the amount of money they can give overall. I would think the best buy trip will be more appreciated.

Gift package cannot exceed $525 in value. I am sure the players prefer the larger amount be to Best Buy as opposed to freakin BWW

If Shyrone Carey is around, he'll throw in free Bowl Game tickets as well.

Pretty cool, but a little weak compared to some bowls. I remember for the Cotton Bowl, players got ipads and macbooks, etc.

They also get per diem from LSU (while their meals are all provided).

That watch looks like those sold from the counter rack at the Nicholson Drive Chevron.

$35 a day to eat? I guess these guys will be loading up on the Dollar Menu at McDonalds.
