IS IT CHRISTMAS?
Ohio State lands three transfer commitments in two hours: CJ Donaldson Jr., Logan George and Max Klare.
All, There's 31bowl games coming up (plus semis and title game, I'll get to them later).
I checked ESPN's scoreboard for the bowl game prices on the 'As Low As.' No, it doesn't include fees or taxes, but, yeah... big range here. Also, travel required... good luck on last minute air/rental/hotel, that ain't cheap either. Luckily, for me, I live in SoCal. hmm...
From $4 to one game over $1000... The Rose Bowl is #2 to Texas game. Perhaps these prices will fluctuate. Also, for some reason, I can't get a price for the Bahamas bowl, but who cares?
