But at least now Overton and his band of ignorant cheaters have a home.

They will travel to play other private schools, similar to IMG (though it might take a little time to for them to get up to that level.)

Not directly related, but I think a lot of people who have interest in this thread might enjoy the documentary "BS High"

Where is documentary streaming? So long as is not actually on Over-him I would watch.

No, it's not about Overton. It's just a sad documentary about a private "high school" football team. It looks like you can watch it on Max, and other streaming services (Hulu?)

Good riddance. She should go teach there too! And take the principal with her.

Yup. She teaches my child and I have been very disappointed, to say the least. Let’s just say she did not separate her person feelings on DO from her professional role.

OMG she's SUCH a CREEPER. Can't stay away from those teenage boys.

I'm surprised STJ wants the liability with her. Moreover, why do they want a "team chaplain." Fact: Many non Christians (which I doubt she really is a Christian) use STJ. Why would they think it's ok to have an "official " Christian chaplain? I suppose the same reason Hayfield did.

Her new title at TSJ is “Mental Strength Coach”, I kid you not 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡

See her Facebook says “Coach”- is the TSJ title on TSJ website? Or something she is writing somewhere?

What did they end up doing with all the money they collected from players on that cash app?

Four hours of academics? Yeah, this "school" seems legit.

This TSJ thing is going to be either a disaster, because if they can't keep grades up in class, how will they whilst doing their studies by themselves online? Or, it could be a blessing for them. They have someone else do the work and make good grades for them or the "teachers" simply give them all straight A's.

Their problem will be IF they are accepted into a university for sports. None of these kids are good enough for a program to risk it's reputation and possibly be NCAA sanctioned for cheating to keep them eligible.

The bigger hurdle for them is gaining eligibility to play D1. A lot of these kids aren't GED material.

Not intending to defend this school as know nothing about it, but 4 hours is pretty much spot on for the core required VA state classes. How much school time do you think yours is getting in core classes? ES was about 20-40 minutes a day for math and language and science and social studies were traded off for another 30-40 every other day. The rest was share circles and PE and recess. MS is same at around hour each for math, social studies, science and English. HS same but can add other classes as most home school/virtual schools allow kids to do as well, but minimum is all about the same.

IMG has a ton of infrastructure, field space, and actually has on-campus academic instruction. It is also incredibly deep-pocketed and has all the seals of approval it needs from the state of Florida etc. This reeks of ECA. One person trying to make a football program out of thin air. I could see it going the exact opposite way you predict (hence the prior ECA comment): popular at first as an opponent but quickly has to close up shop after 2-3 years.

So already, based on your math, we are assuming zero foreign language, zero electives, zero arts etc. Thanks for confirming...it is a sham.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that hardly ANY of Overton's player entourage can afford 30k/year "tuition" at the St James. That's STEEP. I mean come on, some of them were homeless....

How is he going to build a program that is not affordable to almost all local football players.

That’s what boosters are for. Many of the top IMG kids can’t afford it either.

Looks like the academic part will be done through some online school and they will have everything you mentioned available.

Wouldn’t call it a sham, but don’t know if the school will get enough kids to be able to field a competitive high school football team. The school won’t have the traditional high school experience. Probably no prom, no homecoming, etc.

IMG has proms, etc. and proven record. If I were to pay the $, I’d just head to FL and go to IMG. I also would have guessed Overton goes and brings his Freedom and Perform Elite kids to win some friendlies for a couple years and then he’ll bounce and the school will hope more kids come but they won’t, but IMG sold for $1.2 billion in 2023 so clearly there is big $ in all this and parents will pay so who knows- maybe $ windfalls coming to Overton and his crew. His Freedom kids will all get free rides and so maybe works out for them too. Non-Freedom parents will foot the bills for it all…. again, like FCPS did last year and is still doing what with ongoing investigation costs.

IMG built their academy up over 20+ years before they added football which over time became a national power. I fear St.James is jumping into this with the stability that is needed. Football is a huge expense and takes a lot of numbers. It’s hard to support a football program financially when there aren’t a bunch of other paying customers to bleed funds from.

And the St. James have no boosters. IMG took decades to build themselves, and their supporters up, first starting as an elite tennis academy. This is going to crash and burn.
