Now, I understand that Eli turned down the Camaro because of some affiliation with Toyota. And I know that for Chevy, it's not about the player getting the car as it is the enormous exposure/advertising opportunity.
But the next car company to give away a car to a SB MVP should change up the approach. Or at least someone should make it the norm that the winner do something of this sort:
My idea: would be an online raffle in the week or two leading up to the Superbowl, and the MVP can pre-designate a non-profit/charity of their choice where the proceeds go should they win, which would be announced during the presentation and a lucky fan who participated in the nationwide raffle will win the car from the field of the Superbowl.
It's been said before, but it's often a QB, or some 'star' player winning the MVP. A guy like Eli, between his contract and endorsement money makes almost 27 million/year. I understand that it was a 'special, centennial edition'...but at the end of the day, the base MSRP for a 2012 Camaro Convertible is 31k. Even if 50% of his annual earnings get taxed, he's still raking in over 13 mill a year, and could afford to buy over 400 Camaro Convertibles with 1 year's income.
The inverse, with that idea I presented, or something similar....you could probably raise over a million bucks for a charity, AND, a fan...who chances are is someone who makes 5 digits/year instead of 8....can win that sweet vehicle they would have to take a payment on if bought on their own.
