This is pretty cool, it will be a great experience for those young men. Let's hope they bring back a W for the great state of Oho. link to the event https://thefreedombowl.net/

Hope pick central avoids that team.

Do they still play the Herbstriet Classic or whatever they called it?

I see at the bottom of the main page that they have a number of big sponsors, such as the Atlanta Falcons, US Air Force, Chick fil A, and College Football Hall of Fame. However, I can't see how this works financially in the long term without any TV money.

They couldn't make the Herbie work for very long, even with ESPN's direct backing. It has to be really expensive to bring 10 teams from out of town to participate in this thing.

I've found a list of teams that have committed: It is an odd number, so I don't know if someone has dropped out, or still more to add.

Archer (GA)
Alpharetta (GA)
Brentwood Academy (TN)
Clearwater Central Catholic (FL)
Cocoa (FL)
Hoover (AL)
Mainland (FL)
Milton (GA)
Pickerington Central (OH)
Western (FL)
Winter Park (FL)

This event was 6 games in the past. So one more team would make sense.
