Awesome comment

THATS A GOOD ONE 😂

As a certain Washingtonian once said, “The culture is actually damn good”

True

I was gonna say, there's some comedic irony in their initials and the team.

I wish I could find the Game when my Brothers Semi Pro Team the Cleveland Falcons beat a team of Russian players most of whom defected at some point on the tour. This was in the early 90s and was televised on the old Sports Channel. I live in Ohio and never heard of Bishop Sycamore. I always thought Grand Canyon was some Online college then I found out they had a Basketball team.

5:51 The team is called Birmingham Brother Rice

@@njackson6807 Saw the video and missed that factoid. Wow that is so embarrassing that Brother Rice lost to a scam! They traditionally have got one of the best high school football programs in Michigan. I grew up in Michigan and they are known for being a good football school

@@sportzmen123 To be fair, they were playing against 20-somethings.

Well they certainly all aren’t Elite, but teams like St Edwards, St Ignatius, Massillon, and Hoban are some of the best in the area and you can see them destroy Bishop Sycamore. I probably a small public school that doesn’t have a freshman team(common in the area)

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I see what you did there

Take an upvote you...

Exactly 😂😂😂😂😂

As for the game in this video, IMG Academy beat Bishop Sycamore 58-0, not 558-0.

God imagine if you ended up playing them. It would have been laughter bringing laughter.

I don't know what position you play, But you got robbed of stats when they canceled it!

The Jets WILL waste a first round pick on one of these scrubs, guaranteed.

@@GetBenched2010 either that or the Jets will hire their coach

And the entire NFC East during the 2020 nfl season

I mean, I’m a Pats fun but the Jets o-line doesn’t fold like a dollar bill in a tumble dryer that quickly.

Perfect

I offer to direct this one. Tree will of course get producer credit at least.

If you get the reference…🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

Captain America voice: I understood that reference. 😂

get this man a producers role

They could not compete with any low level college team. Maybe some JuCo teams, but any 4 year program would demolish IMG.

Point definitely understood but gotta come at the college thing real quick. IMG is incredible for HS standards but that sounds like the old Bama vs Browns "debate." And just like the NFL being made up of the cream of the crop of college, the same applies to college being made up of the best of the best of high school.

Except the players for Bishop Sycamore aren’t kids. They’re sorry grown ass men.

Essentially it’s Division 1 recruits versus juco players. The D1 recruits are just superior natural athletes with great coaching and nutrition and discipline and sufficient rest. The Juco players are usually not as talented.

@@JoeCab Not all of 'em. And even those grown-ass men were getting injured a ton, partly because of BS's completely nonexistent training and playing two games in three days.

Almost 60 lol

Is it ever a good idea to have people past their prime play against younger and more spry players?

My high school played them last year and beat them 36-6 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's all in the preparation...

@@Linkonpark100 Apparently they were in their early 20's....that's your prime.

IMG isnt a regular high school team, theyre a bunch of reclassed 20 year olds looking for more shots at scholarships. you wonder why theyre so much better than every other team lol. some of those players probably get bribed checks to play aswell.

There was some similar animosity when he talked about EDP after that video came out of him and the child protector people. He also did the same thing in his Rams segment. Just pure, moral outrage.

@@charlesrupp3976 this is true, and it was every bit as justified.

@@charlesrupp3976 which video did he go all out unironic rage on the Rams?

@@AYoungAdultOnKZfaq In his Ram's video. He mostly went off on the owner though.

@@AYoungAdultOnKZfaq It was near the end of the Rams lolcow video. He went of justified tirade against Stan Kroenke, because of how he did the city of St. Louis, the Arsenal Club, and driving homeowners out of their property in Texas. The latter which made one of the owners depressed, it drove him to kill himself.

Just shows how talented he is. Every day we continue to underestimate the power and skill of the Yinzer (When he isn't drunk and belligerent), one day this will shall come back to bite us when they rise up and take over the country. All dumb joking aside, the fact that Tree can do this and be so thorough in his videos is one of the reasons I love watching him.

@@Azores-1994 Luckily they'll gonna stay drunk given the frustrating trajectory of some of his teams

@@ronaldomendoza7578 out of all the teams in Pittsburgh, the Steelers are the only one that frustrate me because they insist on changing the offense to suit a declining Ben. The Pens are still good, the only thing that really killed them last year was a fluke lapse in goaltending, and the issues Jarry does have are overblown, he'll do fine next year. You could argue Tanev and McCann are big losses but McCann was overplaying heavy and even for what Tanev brought to the table, escaping the latter half of that deal is good for them. Heinen becomes what is essentially a direct replacement for McCann, being nearly identical in physique, and I'd argue Heinen's the better player. Outside of that, unless you consider losing Ceci being a huge hit, the Pens honestly got better. Especially when they get Malkin back, the only real frustrating thing about the Pens to me is Sullivan imitating Dan Bylsma; it doesn't matter how much better Bryan Rust gets, he *needs* Dominik Simon on a line with Sid. No wonder his production seemingly nose-dived. The Pirates don't even frustrate me because all I know from them is losing and a fluke Wild-Card win in 2013. Maybe if I was part of the older crowd that could appreciate people like Clemente and Stargell outside of knowing they were beastly players, I'd feel differently, but I just watched them waste the primes of, what, McCutchen, Marte, Bell, Harrison, Polanco, and I'm sure Hayes and Reynolds will be on that list too pretty soon, it happens every time in various forms when we have an elite talent, and if anything, it's entertaining; how will *this* player have his career wasted? It'll most likely involve playing them though 4 leg injuries and ruining their ceiling, then trading them for a pittence when their value deminishes.

@@Azores-1994 Cleveland, Vegas, Oakland, Baltimore, and Cincinnati will be burned in that case

Bro who is tree? I want to check out the content. Please let me know

Again at the hands of IMG

@@wadedevinney9681 I'm starting to think that IMG is in on the grift

The story goes ESPN hires a third-party that takes care of scheduling teams to play on TV. IMG's original opponent backed out so they had to find a last minute opponent to play IMG. Allegedly they asked 200 schools and only Bishop Sycamore said yes

As much as I appreciate ESPN exposing this, if exposing them wasn't the goal of broadcasting the game people need to be fired for that incompetency.

ESPN has been radical left driven fake news for so long that nobody buys anything they say anyway.

@@GetBenched2010 The hell does ESPN have to do with being leftist? Isn't it owned by Disney?

@@magicoddeffect To them anything that is not hard right is leftist. One thread on a different site I laughed as actual Marxists came were right wing people were attacking Democrats as Socialists the Marxists actually explained the basic Marxist principles(I know this and lots of other movements) and then informed the Right wing kooks that Democrats to real Marxists are center right tools of the capitalistic machine. People on the left or right often have no idea how far right or left the other side is actually and thus attack centrists or even people who are just not as radical as them as the extreme of the other side. (Marxism is a failed idea especially as it requires non democratic rule.

I haven't paid attention to the commies at ESPN for years. They haven't been about sports for as long as I can remember now.

This is.... well. Shit

I definitely agree with the final message

It was the longest 9 minute video I've ever seen

It’s not a rabbit hole it’s a fucking spiral down to the depths.

Yeah. Like, are they laundering money or something? Seems like this should have been busted years ago Edit: they aren't even doing a good job of hiding it. They are litterally just pissing in people's faces 🤣

It happens in high school basketball very often. These schools pop up every year.

@@ram0666 But why? Do coaches or directives earn something by creating false schools? I don't understand why they do this.

@@starfox6439 Yes they charge these kids to be on team promising them exposure and they hope to make a name for themselves. Basketball is way way worse. Actually brutal.

Yeah it basically throws every typical sports trope out

@@generic_sauce I'm hoping in the near future cause I just wanna see Lewis Blank revive his role again and go on crazy rants as the Dean of a fake school 🤣

@@JWex-jy7sk the memes could be legendary

I think one of the players for Bishop tore his ACL. The player that was laying in the end zone? I think he was wearing number 54 but I can't remember exactly. He was a big guy but he was laying there in a lot of pain with his knee. I figured it was probably his ACL or MCL but turns out it was an ACL tear. When I played I was in a similar situation as their QB. We didn't have a punter on the team so I threw passes and I punted the ball. As a special teams coach what did you think about them punting out of passing formations?

BS played my team (Massillon) last year. I saw that game and knew something was wrong with them. Mismatched equipment, lazy execution, etc. extremely sketchy program. Shame for those kids they need to get out.

Your school needs to fire anyone involved in scheduling that game for failing the basic check out the credentials of the school your going to play. I real easy search Bishop Sycamore there never was one this basic curiosity to me. They are not registered by any sports organization. They don't show up on Google maps. They don't have the information any real team would have.

Apparently a group call Paragon Marketing Group did it atleast Tree tweeted that

Modern ESPN in a nutshell.

@Cam for being an utter scam and ruining the lives of children, did you not watch the video

ESPN probably didn't Vet them. Just like somehow a Serial Killer ended up on the Dating Game, but did not actually go out with anyone on the show as the Girl picked the Serial killer but then backed out. Yet the Guy is still known as the Dating Game Killer. ESPN probably got rid of their Vetting Department. Wish they would show real teams from Ohio Playing as Spectrum Cable has bogarted the High School games for the most part in the State. Bally's showed a St. Eds game the other day against an out of State Opponent. And Spectrum is offering its games to non Cable subscribers for a ridiculous 10 dollars a game. I can see paying 10 dollars a month or a season.

Lol yeah I heard that apparently ESPN raised it with the marketing company when they weren't able to verify the "school's" claims on their "highly recruited players" and the marketing company basically said "too late, we already signed the contract" and ESPN just went with it??? Like you're a multi-billion dollar company and you don't have lawyers capable of getting you out of a shit contract??? Let's be honest, they didn't want to cancel showing the game and all of IMG's big-time recruits, so despite all of their protestations to the contrary, ESPN was without question fully complicit in this whole debacle.

It's weird because nobody would be talking about this if it wasn't for ESPN airing it. Maybe it was a 5D Chess move by ESPN? Or they lucked out.
