Mac the Knife Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 This page is the perfect example of why I can't stand college sports. It's a mess.Championship rings, watches and related commemorative items are the only gifts which a university, bowl game, or similar entity can give to participants without risking sanctions under NCAA rules, and even in those cases the amount which can be spent on them is severely regulated.The proliferation in rings stems, at least in part, due to guilt on the part of universities, boosters and so forth who understand they're making millions for their respective schools but without compensating the kids directly. Throwing them a bone, if you will... with a wink and a smile saying, "There's nothing preventing you from selling these once your NCAA eligibility period ends."

FinalBeast Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 After the 2009 and 2011 National Championships, Alabama placed a picture of their championship ring on the cover of the program for the spring game. Here is the program for this year. I can't confirm that this the final design, but there is a very good chance it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
