Travel perks

Forget the watches and the gift bags and the little trinkets that players earn when they arrive for a bowl game.
The real reward is not in the arrival, but in the travel.
"Everybody talks about the bowl gifts you get, but a big gift this bowl gives us is the fact we get to see Washington, D.C," UCLA senior tight end Logan Paulsen said. "To be here, to see the city, is so exciting and so rewarding. A lot of guys wouldn't have this opportunity if not for the bowl. It's huge to be here and to see what the city has to offer."
The Bruins have a heavy schedule, with planned visits to the National Mall and monuments, the Walter Reed Military Hospital, the US Capitol and more.
