Brooke Hogan may be heading to some college campus in the next season of her VH1 reality show — but it won’t be UCF.
School officials confirmed this afternoon that they turned down a request from producers of the show, which wanted to send the daughter of wrestling great Hulk Hogan around campus for a couple of days … along with six or seven camera guys. School spokesman Grant Heston said the scenario would have been distracting. “Last week was finals, and this week is Commencement,” he said, adding that school officials also just weren’t sure that video from Hogan Knows Best would be such a boffo thing for the school’s reputation.
UCF may have already learned that lesson a couple of years back after the school allowed WB’s short-on-taste-and-viewers reality show, Big Man on Campus, to highlight partying, drinking, touching (and, if memory serves, a minor stabbing) at the Orlando university. Heston stopped short of saying the school regretted Big Man, instead opting to diplomatically suggest that “each experience you have adds to the perception of the one that comes next.”
Oh, and UCF wasn’t alone in turning down Brooke. So said People.com, which said that FSU and USF also politely declined.
