Thanks. Scrolling back to the original lawasuit is interesting. Allegedly forged a signature and took off with 100k? Is that now the court's conclusion?

Talk about a bad week. On August 26, Roy Johnson and Jay Richardson were found guilty of fraud and forgery from the COF academy debacle.

Unfortunate the ruling hasn't been posted on the court web site yet. The findings of fact will go a long way to unraveling all the lies going back to the formation of COF Academy/Bishop Sycamore by Roy Johnson.
 
 
Another report that features some comments by the BS coach:

Bishop Sycamore coach Roy Johnson, asked Friday at the Wolvarena, said his roster had two teams.
“Yeah, we have the national team that will play on Sunday,” he said.

Asked if there were any overlap between the lineups, he said: “sometimes.”

He admitted both schools wore black uniforms Friday because his team forgot to pack their white set.

Bishop Sycamore under scrutiny after facing Sto-Rox, IMG Academy on same weekend | Trib HSSN

Sto-Rox and Bishop Sycamore both wore black uniforms for their football game Friday at the Wolvarena, but the matching outfits weren’t the most unusual part of the weekend for the online school from Columbus, Ohio.

I have watched both games. The same players were in both games. Some of them wore different jerseys against IMG and some even switched jerseys during the game.

Not sure if it was already posted, but the BS coaches are currently on the line with this guy on Twitter. You have to click his profile photo (should be surrounded by purple) to access the audio: https://twitter.com/Coach_MikeRob

The coaches said that they would beat up on lower division teams in Ohio. Kirtland/Coldwater/Marion/etc. would smoke these guys.

A mother of a student that used to be on the team just got on and absolutely tore one into them. No communication from coaches was her main point, eviction situation, etc. Pretty damning statement honestly.

The coach also seems to be using one of the player's twitter accounts to speak. I'm really trying to figure out if there are upfront costs associated with "attending" the school. If my ears are correct, there was one point in the interview where the coach had someone whisper how many times they have "study tables" because he was unsure. The mom from my last post also said that the coaches apparently ghosted the parents after they played IMG last year.

Joe Maimone has to have some serious stakes in this team to keep defending them the way he is. My guess is he put money up to back then and he's doing everything in his power to try and recoup some of it. His reputation is completely trashed now.

Dude hasn’t been doing a good job of being a first round pick for Team “Feds” in the inevitable football game to be played in Southern District of Ohio court, has he?

I’d love to see Sycamore try to stop Kirtlands power run. They’d be tapping out in the 2nd quarter

Right before signoff, @ohiovarsity on twitter called them all conmen that talked in circles for 3 hours. Mentioned that they do not have actual school admins. Coach left it saying that the United States is a land of second chances and whatnot.

I listened to most but not all of it. Ohio varsity is exactly right. Everyone who spoke for BS spoke in circles. God and church was brought up a lot. Doung the right thing from here on out was brought up a lot. It was all double speak. Their general idea is a good one. Helping those that may not have opportunities get ahead in lifevis fantastic. They have not and most likely will not go about it the right way. I don't think anyone associated with it knows how.
