He was on the NC team and on the current team as well. He told me they get a form with a list of gifts on it. You can check a box for each item to opt for it's cash valuein caseyou didn't want a 3rd xbox or ipod. If I remember correctly, it sounded like a helluva lot more than $850 worth of swag but nothing outrageous. I think most of them opt for the cash on everything. There is nothing the bowl can give them that they haven't already "acquired".<div>

But it's sort of a loot buffet. A Sony gift suite may let players choose one of three Sony products, etc.
