School a "scam"
An Ohio school whose legitimacy was scrutinized after its supposedly top-tier football team got clobbered in an ESPN-televised game didn't live up to its billing educationally either: It turned out to be "a scam," according to an investigation by the Ohio Department of Education.

Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said he is asking the attorney general and other officials to determine whether any laws were broken by what claimed to be the Columbus-area Bishop Sycamore High School. DeWine said he will work with state education officials and lawmakers on enacting changes recommended by the department to avoid a repeat of the situation.

"Ohio families should be able to count on the fact that our schools educate students and don't exist in name only as a vehicle to play high school sports," DeWine said in a statement Friday.

The state found no evidence that Bishop Sycamore enrolled multiple students this year and concluded it didn't meet minimum standards, including for academic offerings and student safety, according to the ODE investigation launched after the team's televised 58-0 loss to Florida-based powerhouse IMG Academy in August.

Bishop Sycamore's report filed with the department for this school year listed only one enrolled student and stated its physical address as a home in a residential neighborhood.

HBOMAX made a show called BS High about this. The dude is just pathological. Holy fuck.

Completely agree.

Almost the entire draft was coverage of an entitled twat with middle of the road skills. He might have gone undrafted last year. Doesn't matter if he becomes a bust or the GOAT, the coverage was garbage.

ESPN should apologize for 2025 NFL draft coverage.

ESPN has all their talking heads pushing how just a few commercials during RedZone won't affect much.

Fuck Wall St.

Maybe Scott just needed a pee break? Honestly, if they were like "SCOTT NEEDS TO PEE" and showed me 1 minute of ads, I wouldn't care.

Well, 4 to 8 15 second ads over 4 hours is admittedly not much. However, this is just the appetizer. The full meal of ads will soon follow. They should have just raised the price by $1 or something. But really, in about a year, you'll be able to pay $7 extra dollar to remove the ads that by then will take up 10% of the 420 minutes.

I would. I'd say, just play the 4 box without commentary.

Exactly. Everyone knows this is just them prepping the audience for more ads.

I won't say that's an upgrade, but it's not a downgrade, in my book. 2 things I don't care about.

100% agree.
