" It is a game of the haves and have nots, and Florida is one of the HAVES, with an athletic budget of $98 million. FAU’s budget? $14.4 mill.That is why FAU can’t afford Motor City Bowl rings at the moment and will be trying to raise funds to pay for them. So for now the Owls will have to be content with the watch, football and book bag they got in Detroit."
So does anyone know if FAU or the Alumni Association is currently doing anything to raise these funds?

Good job though of bringing it to this message board. More people will probably see it and want to help raise funds. ;D

a conference championship
a national championship
i don't KNOW this for sure, but i can probably promise that Florida State did not get Champs Sports Bowl rings… and i CERTAINLY would bet that Southern Miss did not get New Orleans Bowl rings
we had 2007 rings… Sun Belt Conference Champions / New Orleans Bowl rings… they were not NO Bowl rings…
i think it's ridiculous if FAU caves in on this… we won a game that was on ESPN… a glorified end of the season game… it's not a championship

There were gifts, and while not the greatest, Im sure they were appreciated.
Id rather that money go into Owl Club or Stadium Donations. Then it would be put to a use that benefits the entire program.

And while players may enjoy and deserve a ring… they can't get hung up on materialistic things.

"HOW WILL WE PAY FOR THE RINGS?"
A) TAKE IT OUT OF SCHOLARSHIP MONEY
B) ASK DONORS TO PONY UP THE DOUGH…. AGAIN…
C) ASK PLAYERS TO PAY FOR THEM
D) FIND THE MONEY IN THE ATHLETICS DEPARTMENTS BUDGET AND CUT THE OTHER SPORTS
lol
But I do think the funding would add a nice twist to the poll… and maybe get some logical thought along with it - as opposed to some people just saying/voting YES for rings while not thinking it could cost in upwards of $15k
