How does this happen to the Worldwide Leader in Sports?
IMG Academy entered their current game as the No. 2 team in the country according to MaxPreps, behind only California power Mater Dei. IMG has nine players ranked in ESPN’s top 300 college prospects for the 2022 class, led by offensive tackle Tyler Booker, the No. 6 overall player. Other top recruits include safety Kamari Wilson (No. 22), quarterback A.J. Duffy (No. 38) and cornerback Daylen Everette (No. 47).
They are legit as a team that went 8-0 last season and finished as the unofficial national champion.
They were set to face off against Bishop Sycamore from Columbus Ohio as part of this weekend’s GEICO ESPN High School Kickoff showcase.
Bishop Sycamore is on the other side of the spectrum as they have only existed for two years and has a considerably less loaded roster. Somehow both of these teams were set to face each other on the main stage, with one of them not deserving to be shown at all.
According to the game broadcast, the Worldwide Leader was unable to determine the reported scholarship offers for some of the Bishop Sycamore players. IMG won the game 58-0.

A simple Google search would’ve told ESPN that Sycamore went 0-6 last season and were outscored 227-42.
Just last season, the online charter school played IMG and lost 56-6.
