Dream Bowl XV Overview
Dream Bowl XV marks the 15th anniversary of the college football showcase, which has operated since 2013. The event features draft-eligible players from multiple college divisions and NAIA athletes seeking professional exposure. ESPN plans to broadcast the game nationally.
New Bowl Combine and Technology Deployment
Dream Bowl XV will introduce a Bowl Combine for eligible student-athletes, jointly run by Cutting-Edge Sports Management and Datavault AI. The combine will award two roster positions and guaranteed playing opportunities to qualifying participants.
Datavault AI will deploy multiple technologies during the event:
- Event Citadel for athlete registration

Broader Strategy
The Dream Bowl partnership represents Datavault AI's expansion into sports and live event services.

The four-day format will provide multiple opportunities to deploy these systems across practices, scouting sessions, the combine, and the main game.
