Full Price Playstations? Yup, Fiesta Bowl Gets No Deal

Nealy also talks about the effect ESPN's playoff contract has had on all bowl games, including sponsorship restrictions. Nealy also touches on the gifts that bowl games are allowed to offer athletes, and the outlook for his New Year matchup between the University of Central Florida and LSU.
