Snoop Dogg is one of the biggest entertainers in the world and loves football. His son, Cordell Broadus, was one of the best wide receivers in the country coming out of high school in 2015. He chose to play college ball at UCLA but wouldn’t take a single snap for the program because he left the team in his first fall camp and the sport for good.
Snoop Dogg might’ve not seen his son live out his college football dream, but he does get to live out his college football dream by hosting his own bowl game.
Snoop Dogg Gets His Own Bowl Game

It was announced in March this year that the Arizona Bowl would now be the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl, presented by Gin & Juice. It was a crazy moment that someone like Snoop got his own bowl game, but now he is making history. The Snoop Dogg Bowl will be the first game to offer players NIL deals.

Brett McMurphy of Action Network posted a post stating that Snoop Dogg will be the first bowl game to give out NIL deals to the players. The players don’t have to play in the game to receive the deal; they have to be part of the traveling party.

The game will feature schools from the Moutain West and MAC conferences. We have seen a college basketball NIL tournament, which will give money out to the winning players this upcoming season, and now we have a college football bowl game to join the craziness.
