Cotton Bowl 'Swag Bag' Contents Revealed

The bags are not allowed to exceed a value of $550 per NCAA rules.

CINCINNATI — Bowl season means swag bags, and there is some insight into what Alabama and Cincinnati players are taking home from Texas. According to the Cincinnati Business Courier, Each UC player will get A $500 Mastercard gift card, a mercury duffle bag, and an autographed football.

The Cotton Bowl organizers decided to give out free spending for the majority of the $550 in gift value they are allowed to distribute to each player, per NCAA rules. Other bowls have similar swag bags; the Citrus Bowl is giving players a $400 Amazon gift card, an Ogio backpack, a Fossil watch, and a commemorative football.

Playstation Fiesta Bowl participants receive a Playstation 5 console and an unspecified game. The real prize for Cincinnati means nothing compared to the $550 bag value. Both teams would probably take home nothing if it meant they get to play for a National Championship on Jan. 10.

Cincinnati takes on Alabama for the Cotton Bowl crown this Friday at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
