Shawn Watson has swag for days

I was looking down through that bowl swag list. How can they give all that stuff away and not run afoul of ncaa rules? Oh, I'm in favor of it--giving stuff to the players is GREAT. It just seems odd that players can get all this stuff from the bowl sponsors. But in other situations a player gets in hot water if someone buys him a sammich. Funny that.

we lost our chance for most attractive coaching staff when he left.

I'm guessing the Samoan players on Utah's team are pumped about getting a hair dryer.

If it's a youtube just cut-and-paste the url into your post. Just like it's text. Seems to work for me anyway.

 

 

edit: I see you're not posting a youtube vid. So nevermind. Also, that must be an old url. It doesn't lead to a video.

Because the NCAA allows it and monitors the gifts. They are only allowed to give so much of a dollar amount to each athlete.

Not only that, but I think the ncaa monitors gifts given to the players from their schools during the year and counts that against what they can get from the bowls. Like those gold pants the Ohio State players got have a monetary value and that counts against their bowl swag... or something like that.
