There's a sliding scale of swag.
I'd take less in handouts from a bowl in Hawaii if I got to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience over there.
I'd expect really nice stuff if I ended up freezing my nuts off in Toronto, Boise, Detroit, etc.
That's not to say Toronto has nothing to do, as it's a good city, but I don't want to fricking visit it in December.

Ive alwasys found it interesting that when talking about bowl games, its always about the experience the players get. Well if you want a life experience, then there is NOTHING better then being in New York City during the holidays...period. Not only should there be a bowl game in NYC...but i think there should be a major bowl game there (Empire Bowl or Big Apple Bowl). You're telling me that kids from the South or West wouldnt want to see:
Empire State Building
Times Square
Statue of Liberty
Central Park
Rockafeller Center
World Trade Center Memorial
Ellis Island
Macy's
Madison Square Garden
Yankee Stadium
and on and on!

Isn't there a max on this stuff though, something like $500 in gifts to the players, that the NCAA will allow? I wouldn't want to be known as the cheapskate bowl that only gives a fossil watch. All of them really should max out on the players gifts. And I saw where several of them are doing a "store" where players get to pick from several items as long as they don't go over this limit. You could get a PlayStation and not much else, or get a few smaller items to add up to it.

You can go snort a line with the mayor.
