I received an email yesterday after talking about the gifts that bowls are giving to players this year.
By NCAA rule, bowls can spend up to $500 per player for bowl gifts...some of these are Nintendo Wii game systems, trips to ski resorts, custom boots, etc.
The emailer said that Lucca Staiger gets one year taken away because he played on a team where teammates received stipends, but Lucca did nothing wrong, yet the NCAA will allow bowls to buy players gifts.
I agree with him; another instance of NCAA hypocrisy.
