ESPN admits to not checking out things.

LOL- that's totally on the "Worldwide Leader". Nothing but respect for that coach. He took his shot, and as it turns out, ESPN wasn't checking receipts. Now he gets a free 2 hour commercial for his program and probably a nice payday to boot.

Yeah.  Although I'm not sure getting b-slapped by IMG Academy is such a great "commercial".  Then again, they say any publicity is good publicity.

IGM Academy is impressive for sure.  That's where recent Olympic gold medal winner and current no. 1 lady golfer in the world Nelly Korda went, among many other top athletes.

Here's some updated info. BTW, they were slated to play a national schedule this season, facing national powerhouses in Texas, Virginia, Florida, and Maryland. But that may all go by the wayside now- because not only does it appear they fielded illegal players (one guy actually played JUCO ball last year!), but may not in fact even be a real school.

Rumor is that JJ Peterson played LB for them under an assumed name.   

Film at eleven.

Now their coach has been "fired" (from an apparently fake job).

This whole thing is going to make a hilarious documentary one day. I would say a 30/30, but I'm pretty sure ESPN wants no more of that smoke.

Maybe they can entice him with a couple of stolen laptops.

I'm sure Clay Travis won't fail to mention it.  Hopefully it might be a recurring theme with him.
