TCU’s trip to the College Football Championship game means the Horned Frogs will receive more gifts.
For participating the CFP will bestow each player:
▪ A game watch and commemorative watch trunk
▪ An official game coin
▪ A custom fit blazer sports coat
The Horned Frogs’ opponent, Georgia, also received the same gifts. The information was given to the Star-Telegram from the CFP media staff.
That’s on top of the gifts each player received for participating in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.
▪ Blackstone 22” Electric Tabletop Griddle
▪ Yeti Roadie
▪ HidrateSpark Pro Insulated Bottle
▪ Nike Backpack
The NCAA sets a $950 limit on the amount of gifts each player can receive at each game. The rules state that $400 can come from the school, $550 from the bowls.
The Star-Telegram estimated the Fiesta Bowl gifts to be valued at approximately $671. Fiesta Bowl officials say the gifts can be found at less expensive rates, especially when bought in bulk.
Since little detail was given about the CFP gifts, it’s harder to estimate their value.
The team also received a plethora of TCU shirts and other outerwear.
The Horned Frogs play Georgia at SoFi Stadium on Monday at 6:30 p.m. CT for the national title.
