I dont think its fossil giving out as much as bowl sponsors going cheap.

It's always interesting to see what each bowl gives out.

Every year it seems like half of these games give out Fossil watches

I am surprised that the NCAA hasn't declared these gift bags as a violation. I'm sure they would if they could.

NCAA benefits from the revenues of the Bowl Games .. they will be blind.

Actually, they don't. FBS is the only sport they don't get a cut. It all goes directly to the conferences and schools.

They do limit gift bags to $550 from the bowl, $400 from the conference and another $400 from the school.

I’ve always wondered what gifts await the players in the Dollar General Bowl

Cant remember the brand, but I've seen my uncle's watch from the '64 Sugar Bowl when he played.

Very cool piece of memorabilia. Way better than a PS4.

The NCAA has always allowed a certain amount for gifts for bowl games. Practice has been going on 50 years.

Assuming a disposable phone with a few lady of the evenings numbers would be too much.
