Tom Bowl Bids

We often get questions about how the Tom Bowl contacts the various Universities and Conferences we invite to the games.

With the letter of invitation we also send them a sample game-day program which looks like this:

And a couple of pages inside

And then the bids are sent. (It was cold the day I sent these).
