One of the weirder sports stories of recent years, ESPN got duped into broadcasting a "High School' football game featuring a school that probably doesn't exist

Bishop Sycamore’s existence as an actual school has been called into question many times over. If it does, it’s as a new online charter school at most. The school is not recognized by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, and their physical location, practice facilities, and roster eligibility could not be verified. |

ESPN - Everybody's Stupid Programming Network.
Hard to believe the same network who used to be THE gold standard is now not only a shell of its former self, but so entirely pathetic that they fall for this BS. |

And this?

Several opponents of Bishop Sycamore have backed out of scheduled high school football games against the program, and more may be following. |
The schools that are dropping BS all need to get together and see if they can work it out so that they can schedule each other some way.

IMG Academy is barely a real school, just meeting the absolute minimum requirements for accreditation by the state of Florida
