Narrator: It's a sham. |
Everyone else who buys a member to The Saint James will have their rates increased to pay for him, his staff, and the kids on "scholarship." |
To be fair, he has committed crimes before so who is to say he won't do it again? |
Thanks to poster who recommended the BS High show on Max. Have. Ow read more about the players for that one for where they are now and bankruptcy used a lot and reinvesting/rebranding…. If have $, there are many standing in line to happily take it. |
If they successful at what they are trying to do, this won’t happen. Overton already had a Nike sponsorship. Boosters and sponsors will bring in the extra money they may need. |
Overton never had a monetary Nike sponsorship and no intelligent person thought he did. Hayfield had the same standard "sponsorship" agreement with Nike that they ink all the time unimpressive public school programs - slightly discounted rates for uniforms/warmups etc and not much else. You might want to sit this one out. |
Boosters and sponsors? Nobody is going to give a damn to pay these kids way at this place. There's no "boosters and sponsors " for STJ. It's not like Freedom or Hayfield and other REAL schools. None of these kids are superstars , or superstars in the making. There won't be a line of people waiting to pay for them. |
Exactly. People here act as if this hasnt been happening in basketball for 20+ years. I will say trying this in football is a lot harder. In this area only St Francis has been able to make it work. Several others have failed. |
The were also the "home" field for Rock Creek Christian. That school folded, most of the kids are now at Riverdale Baptist. |
How is Saint Frances similar? Isn’t it a regular catholic school where boys where ties and go to class all day? |
https://sfacademy.org/ This St. Francis in Baltimore? It's been around for almost 200 years! |
Having been to the IMG campus, you can't even put STJ in the same with them at all. Their campus couldn't be replicated in NoVA aside from going way out west to Loudoun or maybe somewhere in PWC but that's a stretch too. One turf field to their name, nothing else currently. |
Yep, it is. Someone is just trying to take a petty swipe at Biff/SFA. It's a legit school and even the football players are held to high academic standards. |
Yup. And IMG has a legit academic curriculum (and actual classrooms). They offer AP and honors courses. |
In order to get a team of 50 kids, that's $1,500,000 in tuition costs alone (before uniforms, equipment, travel expenses, league expenses, etc). That's a LOT of booster and sponsor dollars to raise in the next 6 months. |
