AUSTIN — The bowl games are set and some have already been played. Each bowl game is unique by it's location, the teams that play and even the swag they hand out.
This year, Sports Business Journal put together a list of each bowl game, with what gifts would be handed out to each team.
Each year the NCAA allows those participating in bowl games to receive gifts, up to $550 combined in price. Typically, the bowl would select the gifts and hand them out to players, but some bowls have their own gift suites, which is like a pop-up store where players can choose their own gifts combining up to $550.
