ESPN BROADCASTS FOOTBALL GAME WITH FAKE TEAM PLAYING
Written by Tony Schultz on September 1, 2021
When is a high school NOT a high school? When they play a football game on ESPN and no one knows that. Over the weekend ESPN had a high school game where IMG Academy, a school where kids go to basically become better players played against Bishop-Sycamore a high school form Ohio that may not even exist. Now, I’ll give ESPN some leeway as they don’t setup these match ups as they are put together by a marketing group and then sold to ESPN. Bishop-Sycamore (funny, their initials are literally BS) claimed that they had several Division 1 prospects on the team and that they had won several games. As the game progressed the announcers became pretty sure that there was no one on that team that would be scouted by a Division 1 school as they were blown out 58-0 by IMG. The days after the match up it was discovered that the team had played 2 games within 3 days. Something high schools don’t do and that they may not even be a school because their website and social media platforms only talk about football. There is information that fuels speculation the players are actually college age kids and not high school aged, and that they are not affiliated with the Ohio High School League. It is the weirdest story I’ve ever heard about high school sports. Who is checking on this kind of stuff? Who is vetting the teams and the schools? And if you’re not a legitimate school, why would you expose yourself on national television? The video below is a break down of the absolute beat down they took in this “game”.
