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. :doh:

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

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. :dielaughing:

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.   :naughty:
