If the Hula Bowl gets off of the ground in 2026, I will be very surprised.

I’ve had numerous “tips” and recommendations to look into different aspects of the event and what has been happening behind the scenes. Here is what I found.

Note: because of the legal status of the situation, all of this is “ALLEGED.”

The Hula Bowl lost their TV contract this year, which is what brought my initial investigation into the event together. The contract appears to have been lost last minute - even schools thought they were airing on CBS Sports the morning of the game, when several schools posted graphics featuring their students participating in the game with CBS Sports plastered on it.

However, when people turned on CBS Sports at kickoff, they found the Army/Navy rerun playing from last month.

The Hula Bowl was supposed to cover broadcast costs to the game as part of the arrangement. When CBS Sports did not receive the funds, they pulled out of the event, and the Hula Bowl scrambled together a team to film the event behind the scenes, quietly and without anyone knowing.

The result was a shoddy viewing for the limited audience that were able to tune in.

Many people thought a rerun of the Hula Bowl would air at 3:30 AM the following Monday, however that was corrected the day of in the broadcast schedule to reflect another Army/Navy rerun.

The Hula Bowl owner, Jennifer Logan (who also served as the games VP of Marketing) has a habit of leaving people unpaid.

The Hula Bowl hired UCF students to create many of the graphics and run their social media accounts. Those people remained unpaid for their work.

It is unclear what staff scouting the game and putting the game together were paid and which ones weren’t. Many, who left the event at the start of the season, appear to be under NDA’s and won’t speak on the matter at all.

One of the companies helping to fund the Hula Bowl is NextFund, a startup support company that funds small businesses looking to broaden their scopes, owned by Nicholas Logan, whose LinkedIn is set to private. I am unclear on his relation to Jennifer Logan, but he is somehow related.

NextFund was sued in December for $5M in damages for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, fraud, and conspiracy. Included in the complaint are “misleading statements” about the business that they do, including with the Hula Bowl, per the Tampa Bay Business Journal.

The entities suing them were Cornerstone and SSM, no longer active businesses.

According to the complaint, Cornerstone and SSM would collect payments from their merchants clients customers directly and earn a fee that they agreed to share with NextFund. Logan, allegedly, did not return any of the money to NextFund from the business, instead using the money to load to friends and affiliates.

This rings true. With the 2024 Hula Bowl, there was a massive mistake in hotel reservations. Any one who used the Hula Bowl website to register a hotel room with the hosting hotel found that their reservation never made it to the hotel, and had to purchase again upon arrival. Those people never saw their money returned, despite promises of such payment.

Those people were NFL Scouts, players who attended, players families, attending media, etc.

In other words, ALLEGEDLY, the Hula Bowl was being used as a massive Ponzi scheme that collected anywhere between $2M to $4M in the height of its operations.

It left many people unpaid for their work in the involvement, and appears that the money ran out - resulting in the loss of the game on CBS Sports and perhaps the downfall of a premier event where football players could position themselves for professional opportunities.

Thanks for reading.

Everything that you endure, I truly believe God allows you to experience for a reason.

The last year has been an eye-opening experience for me to appreciate every suffering moment, every time I wondered why, it’s made sense now when looking back on it.

Can’t wait to share what opportunity was presented to me this week. It will change around my plans a little bit for the year, but it’s all for the best.

Thank you all, again, from the bottom of my heart.

Today’s Daily Prospect: North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton.

He has the tools to be a Le’Veon Bell-type bell cow running back, and could be a good change of pace runner in a rotation.

In today's Daily Prospect: WR Matthew Golden, Texas.

Yes, I had a report ready to go. He's exciting.

The best thing about Matthew Golden is that he has an overall good skill set. With the right scheme, he can be a very productive receiver in the NFL.

Today’s Daily Prospect from @DraftVogel: @HerdFB EDGE Mike Green.

Headed to Mobile for the Senior Bowl, Mike Green has the tools to be a special force in the NFL after an insanely productive 2024 campaign, his first season as a full time starter.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported my career and followed me this far. There’s no real reason for this post, in terms of the timing, except to express extreme gratitude, so thank you.

It’s incredible to think that in August, 2018, I was living out of the back of my 2004 Toyota Corolla, using the WiFi out of a McDonalds to search for a job, and write football articles in pursuit of a dream.

I would buy lunch or dinner off of the dollar menu with what I had, worked temp jobs in a variety of locations, trying to maintain a hint of normalcy to my life. I had nowhere else to go, so I lived out of the back of my car through the winter and until I shipped off for Basic Training in February 2019.

Since that time, I’ve worked hard to make a name for myself, and have accomplished just that.

In December of 2019, I had my first press credential to the Music City Bowl.

In January 2020 I was at my first Senior Bowl in Mobile.

Things truly come full circle.

The people I have met over the span of six years in the industry have been nothing short of incredible. I’ve learned so much not only about football but about life, business, how to be a professional, and so much more.

You all have given me this life, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Today’s Daily Prospect from @DraftVogel: TE Harold Fannin Jr, Bowling Green.

Harold Fannin Jr is a little bit smaller than most of the tight ends in this class, making his projection a little bit harder than most.
