Iconic gift

Note: Gift suites are set up as private events in which game participants, and often bowl VIPs, are given an order form and allowed to select a gift, or gifts, up to a value that is predetermined by each specific bowl, not to exceed the NCAA limit of $550 per person.

Some bowls really make the other bowls look like peasants. You can give these kids anything, and you’re throwing out a fucking gift suite and a Fossil watch? Step aside, losers. The Peach Bowl is throwing out a $300 Visa gift card AND a free meal from Chick-Fil-A. There’s only one way to top that gift.

That way belongs to the strategy the Cotton Bowl is employing by not disclosing the gift. That gives Jerry Jones and AT&T the opening to deny any sort of allegation they exceeded the limit..
