Bishop Sycamore Defends Legitimacy, Fires Coach

Brock Fritz Headshot

Playing football on ESPN changed a lot for Bishop Sycamore, which has since let its football coach go, defended its existence, and been the subject of an Ohio Department of Education investigation.

It’s been a whirlwind for those involved with Ohio-based Bishop Sycamore since its 58-0 loss to IMG Academy was broadcast on ESPN Sunday. Questions of the school’s legitimacy surfaced immediately, with announcer Anish Shroff saying, "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. They did not show up in our database, they did not show up in the databases of other recruiting services. OK, if that’s what you’re telling us, fine, that’s how we take it in. From what we’ve seen so far, this is not a far fight, and there’s got to be a point now where you do worry about health and safety.”
