For college football players, getting the chance to play in a bowl game is on top of the wish list.

Of course, that doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate getting a few other gifts for their efforts, too.

According to Sports Business Daily, at least $5.4 million in gifts will be given to participants in the 2014-15 NCAA bowl games.

Some of the bowls have gifts that have become traditions, such as the hair dryers the Arizona State Sun Devils — along with the Duke Blue Devils — will receive from the Sun Bowl in El Paso, as well as watches, backpacks, fleece pullovers and caps.

The Arizona Wildcats and Boise State Broncos will get Fossil watches and backpacks at their trip to the Fiesta Bowl at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Phoenix’s other bowl, the Cactus Bowl held at Sun Devil Stadium, will be giving the Washington Huskies and Oklahoma State Cowboys the same watches and backpacks.
