The Holiday Bowl has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against UCLA and the Pac-12 after the university’s football team backed out of the game just hours before kickoff in 2021.
The lawsuit states that in 2019, the San Diego Bowl Game Association entered into a contract with the Pac-12 and its member institutions in the annual Holiday Bowl.The lawsuit states that around noon on the day the game was set to be played, UCLA announced that the team would not play in the game “after which on the UCLA football players, coaches and support staff, as well as the UCLA band, boarded their buses and returned to Los Angeles.
“Had UCLA announced its intention not to play other than mere hours before kickoff and, instead, had staked its position days or weeks before the game, SDBGA would have been afforded an opportunity to engage a replacement team to square off against the ACC’s representative and prevent cancellation of the 2021 Holiday Bowl in its entirety,” the lawsuit continues.
“SDBGA’s total revenue losses caused by UCLA’s refusal to honor its obligations under the 2019 PAC-12 contract exceeded $7.8 million,” the lawsuit said. “SDBGA has engaged and continues to engage in good faith with the PAC-12 to negotiate a resolution of the dispute without success.
