If you have not checked out this documentary yet, I'm recommending you do. Pretty much everything that has ever been wrong in high school athletics is wrapped-up in this nightmare of a story. The guy behind Bishop Sycamore is a total dirtbag, and this documentary does a great job in exposing that.
My wife asked me about half-way through why nobody questioned what this school was doing halfway through the season, and I had a hard time answering.
But then I thought of La Lamure Academy in Indiana, and while at least that is a real school, it occurred to me that very few question what they do because they are not an IHSAA member. I'm guessing that is how Bishop Sycamore was able to fly under the radar.
However, that's what I still fail to grasp about this story. The only way they get away with this is to maintain a low profile. Yet they chose to play in the spotlight vs. IMG on ESPN. Win or lose they were going to draw attention to themselves. This whole thing was destined to be a short run based on leaving a trail of unpaid hotel bills, not having any classes, and playing kids that had already used up all high school eligibility. What was the end game supposed to be here? It would've been a very entertain story if it had not been true. Okay, still pretty entertaining.
