What was the point of this stunt anyway? Did somebody get paid or something?

yeah. the fugazi team organizer/leader got some bread and was supposed to give the players something but of course they didn't get bread. Just clownery all around. And ESPN didn't vet the situation as they should have.

These superprep academies/schools really have no oversight so they gotta find teams to play since they can't be part of most state high school associations. That's how the Bishop Sycamore fukkery ends up happening. It was going on for years.

fukk it. I've always wanted my own school. I'm starting Bishop Tife D. Jakes Post Grad Prep Academy. We're accepting anybody that can make it to Atlanta, meet us on Bankhead and we'll drive all around the nation playing the top schools.

@Buckeye Fever has already agreed to be our first signee. We know his talents on the court, wait till yall see him on the field

I've secured transportation

Complex also conducted an anonymous interview with two former Bishop Sycamore students. They revealed that then head coach, Leroy Johnson, recruited the students with the prospect of "practicing at Ohio State's facilities".[5] In reality, they held practice outside of an apartment complex that housed students at Ohio State. The team also did not have athletic trainers, which resulted in the athletes playing injured. The apartments housing the students frequently evicted them after Johnson failed to pay rent. Many players already graduated from high school and there "were four or five kids that were 20, 21, [and] had children of their own".[5] A number of players had legal issues; at one point so many players had active arrest warrants that the team could not fly to away games. One player actually joined the team immediately after being released from jail. The team also struggled with camaraderie; a former player claimed there were at least five fights at every practice.
