Bishop Sycamore Fires Head Coach Roy Johnson, Maintains Legitimacy

Bishop Sycamore, the school that has gained national attention for potentially being a fraudulent program, has fired its head coach. The news was first reported by USA Today Sports's Chris Bumbaca.

The team made headlines on Sunday when it was blown out by IMG Academy (Florida), the No. 2 high school football team in the country, on a nationally televised game via ESPN 58–0. The blowout was not the issue, but whether or not Bishop Sycamore was actually a legitimate school.

The school's address is listed as a P.O. box and it claims to be based in Columbus, Ohio, but it is not affiliated with the Ohio High School Athletic Association.
