Because I speak to the people at the Bishop Sycamore on a regular basis. They said they never heard there was one issue the whole summer since the game was announced until the last week, the day after they beat some small school 66-6. They get a call from the Mainland coach mad that they have players from Michigan, New York as well as Ohio. The funny thing is Mainland agreed to the matchup before Bishop Sycamore even had one player. The Freedom Bowl signed them without even knowing what type of team they were. When Mainland found out this was a Midwest IMG they flipped out. The hotel breach was the excuse. Because if the teams were supposed to secure hotels 30 days after signing a contract then why wasn’t this a breach 2 months ago given the fact the contract was signed 3 months ago? Mysteriously, after they beat a team 66-6 and have studs everywhere it becomes about hotels? Bullshit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Bishop Sycamore High School and they are certainly not accredited by the Ohio Department of Education. The school you are describing appears to be the Academy for Urban Scholars, a public charter school that opened in 2011. Maybe some of the players are attending class there but that's a far cry from being able to claim a partnership with the school. Either way it appears Bishop Sycamore has dropped any mention of "high school" or AUS from their twitter, and AUS' web site and facebook page never mentioned anything about Bishop Sycamore or a football team. Maybe BS found out non-residents can't attend Ohio public schools for free. It's just a club team. This idea of applying for OHSAA membership, deadline or not, is simply ridiculous. First, only an actual school can be a member. That aside, the school has to participate in at least two sports per season, the maximum number of football games is 10, five of which must be against OHSAA member schools. Academic eligibility for each player must be established. Recruiting is not allowed. Playing football for more than four years is not allowed. Playing away games in a non-contiguous state on a school day is not allowed. At best, OHSAA could assign them a division classification so if an OHSAA member school played them the appropriate playoff points are earned. Most state high school athletic associations require out-of state opponents to be a member of their state's association for the games to count so games against BS will probably be counted as a bye week.

Hotel, library, starbucks etc. Bishop Sycamore is just a made up name for the football team. There is no actual school. I think that idea fell through a while ago. Need to pay for laptops and tuition which requires money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Mainland coach told the paper about the cancellation on Friday. Quote The Buccaneers’ road trip to Georgia for the so-called Freedom Bowl looked like an obvious standout until coach Scott Wilson said Friday the game had been canceled due to a “breach of contract” by the Columbus, Ohio, school. Wilson hopes to schedule a new opponent during Mainland’s scheduled Oct. 11 bye week. https://www.news-journalonline.com/sports/20190824/volusia-flagler-week-1-prep-football-highlights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Peddie cancelled because New Jersey teams can’t play teams not apart of a state association.

Peddie is a prep school not affiliated with the NJSIAA. They are free to play whomever they want, and routinely play other unaffiliated prep schools. That’s 2 teams (and counting) who have been cheated out of games because some fly-by-night operation slapped together a “school” founded in honor of some “bishop” because IMHO they probably hope to cash in as an “agent” if one of their kids makes it to the NFL. And the people who pimp them out to other teams have done no one a service here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Sycamore secured these games before even forming a roster before the summer. These teams didn’t know what they were getting into in terms of what type of team they were. Thats why teams are cancelling. They thought they were some random first year private school who would be an easy win. Once they realized they got D1 guys from around the Midwest to form a regional independent team they got scared and cancelled. The teams who scheduled them and signed contracts based on the info given. If they signed a contract then they must have seen solid proof of a school, and roster. Because if not why the fuck would you sign a contract then? Doesn’t make sense. Sounds like they agreed to play some random small private for a free win, then when it turned out that wasn’t gonna happen they backtracked and cancelled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe these schools that are signing with BS trust the agent that is match making them. You really need to stop selling bullshit. You are starting to look a little crunchy saying teams are scared to play this school when official reports from last week say something totally different. Apparently it had nothing to do with Mainland and everything to do with the organizers finding the BS full of BS and sketchy. You really appear to twisting in the wind here and pushing a bullshit agenda. I wouldn't hurt my credibility over some folks that apparently can't even keep up with deadlines and stuff if I were you. You spun last week a whole world of way and then the timelines don't even match up to back up your story. I think you are falling on the wrong sword. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted September 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Last week you said these guys were trying to be accredited by Ohio. In this recent diatribe you say they went around the midwest intent on forming an independent. You can't even keep your story together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
