Here is a photo of my 2002 Ohio State National Champions Ring and 2002 BCS National Champs Ring. This was the first year that the NCAA Gave out a BCS Ring. These are the only 2 Rings that the players and staff got that year. Notice that on the School Version they school put on the top Big Ten, Fiesta Bowl and National Champions on the Ring. NO separate Big Ten Was allowed to be given out this year since the players got a bonus BCS Ring. But the school only still paid for 1 Ring. The NCAA thought the players didnt need to have 3 separate Rings thus a higher gift value to the players. But in 2006 the NCAA allowed the schools to give players 3 Rings even though the schools paid for 2 of them. In 2006 only the BCS and School National Champs rings were 10K gold. The SEC Ring was non gold. So this was prob how the NCAA allowed the school to give out a bonus Ring. Normally there is a cap on how much of a gift you can give a player. Now since ALL Rings now given out are not 10K the players dont get materially 3 10k gold Rings so this is why the NCAA allows 3 rings now. www.ChampionshipSportsRings.com
