Every year, it seems that the bowl gifts get even sweeter.
From gift cards to watches, bowl teams usually get a pretty nice amount of swag. Surprising to some, the quality of the bowl game has nothing to do with how lavish the swag bags are.
For example, of all the B1G teams, Maryland might’ve gotten the best haul of all of them. I mean, who gets a life-sized Fathead decal in one’s likeness?
At the very least, a player will end up with a nice new watch. Well, maybe the Cotton Bowl doesn’t work like that.
Here are all of the gifts B1G teams will receive this bowl season (via Sports Business Daily):
