Commentary: On Bowl game gifts

A pal of mine sent me a listing of gifts that players receive for their participation in the various football bowl games.

There are some very nice items on the listing, representing a small token to make up for the time and effort that these players put into preparing for the games. Frankly, this is the first time I'd ever heard of the practice. But, I guess if movie stars get gift bags for showing up to the Oscars, it's not unreasonable to see players get some small gesture of appreciation.
