Punked is the right word. These stories keep saying the other production company sets up these games. But didn't anybody look at the name and notice that it's obviously made up? What's a Bishop Sycamore? I guess that as long as the ad dollars keep flowing in, it's all good.

Dawg I’m just now realizing the initials of the school are literally BS 😭😭😭

[@sportsmediaamerica]

I find this hard to watch. I work in sports publishing and have been curious about the whole "finishing school" thing, like IMG, Prolific Prep, Sunrise Christian, La Lumiere, etc., etc., whether it's football or basketball. It always stunk to high heaven but I have never seen an in-depth investigation of these places -- Who funds them? Who recruits the kids? What are the academics like? Who owns the extensive expensive land that IMG is on in Bradenton? That place looks like a fortress, or at least it did in April. I wanted a tour but no one would return my calls. So to see "Bishop Sycamore" in the game, you gotta wonder what the fraud level is in the whole concept of "sports finishing schools," aka minor leagues for guys who want to make a living in pro sports. Do these guys finish their education? If they come from poor inner-city backgrounds, who is paying the freight for them? There are a million questions, but the BS situation just makes you sick. Even more sickening is knowing that grown, supposedly responsible adults are a party to the whole thing.
