Bishop Sycamore became a huge story over the weekend, as the school apparently duped ESPN into airing a game between it and football powerhouse IMG Academy.

Bishop Sycamore played a game on Friday before playing IMG on Sunday, raising concerns. Also, the school said it had several Division I prospects, but ESPN couldn’t verify that claim. Additionally, many of the players may have been older than high-school age.

So, how does something like that happen? How does it hit the ESPN airwaves? Former ESPN executive John Skipper joined the “Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz” on Wednesday to explain. He used a NSFW (but hilarious) analogy to describe how it slipped through the cracks:

“Actually, I think this happened just because of the volume of games they put on at ESPN,” Skipper said. “There’s a hierarchy of what people pay attention to — this game falls pretty far down in the hierarchy. It falls far enough down that they let someone else do the game, produce the game for them and give it to them. Somebody didn’t pay attention. But, nobody got hurt. It’s just funny. I don’t think this is a reflection on the culture or that they don’t care or they’re not paying attention — they are. This is kind of a ridiculous analogy, but this is like expecting the Walmart CEO to know that some dog has shit in aisle 13 of the Fayetteville, Arkansas, store. You can’t know everything.”

Well, that’s certainly one way of putting it! One thing is for sure, though. ESPN will likely be paying more attention to the high school football games it airs moving forward.
