One of the perks for players who help their teams earn a bowl game berth is the swag gifted to them by the bowls. In Auburn's case this season, the players are cashing in big time.

As part of Auburn's Sugar Bowl berth, players will receive a bundle of gifts that includes a Fossil watch with a custom tin, a New Era cap and a selection of offerings from a gift suite, according to Sports Business Daily. What additional gifts will be available in the gift suite is unclear.

The NCAA allows players to receive up to $550 in gifts from bowl games.

The gift selection for the Sugar Bowl is comparable to the other New Year's Six games this season. The Cotton Bowl did not disclose its gifts, according to Sports Business Daily, while the Rose Bowl will provide players with a Fossil watch, Ogio backpack, New Era 9Fifty snapback hat and a gift suite, and the Orange Bowl will give players a Tourneau watch, Schutt miniature helmet and selections from a gift suite.

For the College Football Playoff semifinals, the Peach Bowl is providing participants with a $300 Visa gift card, JBL Bluetooth speaker, a Fossil watch and a football. The Fiesta Bowl will give players an Ogio Throttle backpack, Fossil watch, football and either a PS4 game and accessory bundle or selection from a gift suite.

Bowl games are truly cool experiences for players. They get up to 550 in swag AND cash per-diem for the entirety of their trip. The sponsor of the bowl generally determines what items and what quality they receive. We only got to play in two lower tier bowls when I was in college, but got 3 sets of addidas warm ups, shoes, fossil watch, soft shell jacket, IPods (it was 2004 and 2005) and 85 dollars a day. I imagine the Sugar Bowl, in conjunction with the apparel providers of each school, will hook the guys up pretty damned swaggy!

Fossil is racking up this bowl season! lol

Good for all! WDE

Might question use of the word "swag" in the title.

I find such gains in no way shape, or form, "ill-gotten."

If our's make it to the semi-final game, they will.

I never thought about this - but how does this work for the teams that make it to the NC now? Do they get twice the gifts since they technically get 2 bowl games?

Hmm...good question. Although, the NCG is not technically a bowl game, maybe they get stuff for the first one, and then "awards" for making it to the second? I will do some digging and see what I can find!

For whichever team ended up losing,

any of those would be more  an "ironic gift."

[Linayus 676]

Probably like the NC coin, shirt, etc.

[Butthead 525]

one of the 4 playoff teams will likely receive 2017 dodge chargers.  hmmmmm.
