Sunday PM - ESPN is currently broadcasting a high school football game between IMG Academy, arguably the No. 1 high school team in the country, and Bishop Sycamore (Ohio).
IMG Academy is extremely well known. The Florida school has consistently produced dozens of high-level recruits. Bishop Sycamore, meanwhile, is not very well known – at all.
Apparently, Bishop Sycamore’s coach duped ESPN into thinking the program had better players than they do. ESPN essentially admitted this on the air.
“Bishop Sycamore told us they had a number of Division I prospects on their roster. To be frank, a lot of that we could not verify,” ESPN announced on the air.

Long and short: it’s not a school, the educational component is serviced via something similar to ECOT; got plenty of dudes that would’ve aged out of OHSAA eligibility; kids from across the country; ESPN announcers just said this coach lied to them about having multiple D1 guys
