I think if it's cleared and considered a part of a bowl package that doesn't exceed their overall limit its ok. Someone else may have better knowledge about that though.

I believe your correct Clark. I wanna say the limit is 550 dollars

The bowl package is given by the bowl itself, not by an alumni.

Found this, maybe it falls under some sort of participation rule:

The NCAA allows each bowl to award up to $550 worth of gifts to 125 participants per school. Schools can, and usually do, buy additional gifts that they can distribute to participants beyond that 125 limit. In addition, participants can receive awards worth up to $400 from the school and up to $400 from the conference for postseason play, covering both conference title games and any bowl game.
