Somebody at Bishop Sycamore got a whole bunch of money by having their kids play 2 games in 3 days. Unbelievable that ESPN didn't fully research this "school" before airing this game on national television. IMG also shares some blame for scheduling a game like this, but hey, they got on ESPN, so who cares?*

Score?

[Raider6309]

Score?

58-0. It was like 30-0 after the 1st quarter

[mattash]

Lol ouch.

[Raider6309]

Lol ouch.

It’s became national news fast

[mattash]

Link to highlights lol

[Izladoom]

Img played them last year too that’s the crazy part why would they even bother to play them again this year when they knew they was a fraud

[bbjunky81]

If someone isn't fired for this then I don't know what a fire-able offense is these days.

Complete blunder by someone at ESPN, or, whoever does their game scheduling for these events.

[mackdog]

An embarrassing, misleading and unfortunate display of (OH) HS football on national TV. What the hell are they doing at Bishop Sycamore anyhow? Everything I've read makes their situation seem very shady.

[eagle one]

actually a marketing outfit for geico screens these games and send them to espn to air

This Bishop Sycamore for a fact is a shady establishment .. There should be an investigation of Bishop Sycamore and fines for false representation issued to Sycamore by the OHSAA.

The sad thing is this scam school has been well talked about for the last few years on Yappi but no news outlet really cared until the ESPN game.

“Since the media finally noticed this story a full three years too late, here's a little trail of public records to follow.

08/30/18 Heartland Bank v. Richard Allen Group (Roy Johnson, Jay Richardson) case no. 18 CV 007448 Franklin County $90,449

Most coaches get fired for this. Not at Bishop Sycamore.

[Raider6309]

Dewine has ordered an investigation into Bishop Sycamore. Johnson going to prison now

[transplant]

wow

[cbolt]

A lot of them don't look like kids either. Probably some of them in their 20's I'm guessing.

[Chilli_Dawg_614]

I see more than a few people on this site say teams like Ironton, Burg, Jackson, ( whatever) could play "with just about anyone in the country" & I guess they just dont venture out much or whatever because after you watch a team like IMG or Duncanville, or American Heritage or Miami Central or Mater Dei, if you're unable to acknowledge a HUGE difference, idk what to tell ya.

[Chilli_Dawg_614]

Ya know whats crazy? IMG does the exact same thing to legit nationally ranked teams. Exact same results pretty much.

Up until this season the state of texas wouldnt even allow IMG to come play texas teams.
