Itβs been a rough couple of days for Bishop Sycamore High School.
After its football team was revealed to be an elaborate scam on live television this past weekend, the βschoolβsβ flimsy house of cards has come crumbling down faster than you can say, βWhich one of you motherfuckers is going to jail first?β

For his role in these shenanigans, head coach Roy Johnsonβwho has an active warrant out for his arrest (for a domestic violence incident) as well as multiple civil lawsuits breathing down his neck for fraud and other alleged crimesβhas been fired, per USA Today. Thereβs also the fact that four opponents (and counting) have dumped B.S. (see what I did there?) from their remaining football schedules because the absolute worst thing you can do with a steaming pile of dog shit is stand next to it.
βStudent safety is our top priority and I canβt ask our student-athletes to take the field next week without knowing more about who they will be facing,β Duncanville ISD Athletic Director Dwight Weaver said in a statement Tuesday. βOur school districtβs core values speak to honesty, integrity, ethics, and providing a safe environment for students. This situation calls into question many of those values, so we are canceling this game.β
Of additional note, now Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has leaped into the fray. As the schoolβs legitimacy has come into question with former players coming forward with disturbing personal accounts of fraud and neglect, DeWine has launched an investigation to find out what in the hell is going on with the schoolβs football program.
βLike many Ohioans, I am concerned by the recent reports and questions raised about Bishop Sycamore. While this weekendβs football game brought concerns about the health and safety of players, it also raised red flags about the schoolβs operations,β DeWine said in a statement. βSchools like Bishop Sycamore have an obligation under Ohio law to meet certain minimum standards. Whether Bishop Sycamore meets these standards is not clear. I have asked the Ohio Department of Education to conduct an investigation into Bishop Sycamore to ensure compliance with Ohio law and to ensure the school is providing the educational opportunities Ohio students deserve.β
Translation: βWhich one of you motherfuckers is going to jail first?β
Yet, despite all of this, Bishop Sycamoreβs founder Andre Petersonβwho was last seen firing off emails promising millions of dollars in exchange for your rent moneyβinsists that his football program isnβt some bootleg Fyre Festival and instead is a legitimate operation.
βThereβs nothing that Iβve gotten out of this that would constitute it as a scam because Iβm not gaining anything financially from what weβre doing,β Peterson told USA Today. βThe reality of it is that I have a son (Javan) thatβs also in the program and has been in the program for four years.
βIf itβs a scam and the kids are not going to school and not doing what theyβre supposed to do, then Iβm literally scamming myself. And most importantly, Iβm hurting my own son. So when people say stuff like that [β¦] I would literally be taking my sonβs future and throwing it in the trash.β
I mean, a scam doesnβt have to be profitable in order to be considered a scam, much like the New York Jets donβt have to be competitive in order to be considered an NFL team. But let me mind my Black-ass business.
All I know is expect some indictments to be handed out soon because somebodyβs going to jail over this shit.
