It's bowl season for college football and that means plenty of bowl game gifts for players. Every bowl game gives out gifts to players, although some bowls have better presents for the participating players. Here is the complete list and guide to the bowl game gifts for 2017.
You'll see the phrase "gift suite" below quite a few times. That's a common bowl game gift, where the bowls have a room full of various gifts that players can choose, provided they stay at or below a certain value. That value changes for each bowl and isn't always reported. The gifts can range from watches to headphones to electronics and a whole lot more.
And yes, this is all allowed under NCAA rules. As long as players don't get more than $550, they're allowed to receive these gifts. Nearly all of the watches, clothes and luggage feature the bowl game logo.
Here's the complete list of gifts bowl games are giving to players this year.
