If only Bishop Sycamore had promoted themselves a little more legitimately and who knows, by next year two SEC schools would've had B.S. in their November non-conference schedule.

As if I needed more reasons to believe ESPN employees won’t even bother to do a simple Google search when presented with scant evidence of a vague rumor they’ve been told.

Getting fired from a place that doesn't exist is like getting suspended from homeschool; story just gets weirder.

The address of the school is literally random duplex
house somewhere in Ohio.

There was also a "My girlfriend goes to Bishop Sycamore" sign.

Amazing.

Holy crap that was amazing.

Granted it's Texas so everything is bigger, as they say, but their high school stadiums are over the top:

Melissa Texas, a bedroom community in exurbs of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, has just completed a $35M football stadium for their High School of 1300 students. There's also box seats and an indoor practice facility.

My kid’s future high school has twice the students and their stadium is like 1/8th the size.
