Suit says bowl game had more than $3 million in losses, exhausted reserves, when Bruins backed out 5 hours before kickoff of 2021 game vs. North Carolina State
The Holiday Bowl is suing the Pac-12 and UCLA to recover more than $3 million in losses suffered when UCLA pulled out of the 2021 bowl game fewer than five hours before kickoff against North Carolina State.
According to sources, the Holiday Bowl is holding back the Pac-12 payout from the 2022 game as an offset for the 2021 losses until the matter can be resolved. This, in turn, led the Pac-12 to threaten a legal claim to the 2022 payout. According to the claim, the contract states that the parties “agree to indemnify and hold harmless each other against and in respect of any and all claims, losses, expenses, costs, obligations and liabilities” any action that results in a “failure to perform” by any party to the agreement.
Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren was unaware UCLA had such extensive issues with COVID until N.C. State AD Boo Corrigan informed him the game was canceled shortly before the news became public 4 1/2 hours before kickoff.
