Poor Manti Te’o will never live down the whole fake girlfriend debacle from his college football days at Notre Dame.
Earlier today, it was revealed that ESPN made a colossal mistake when airing a high school football game between Ohio’s Bishop Sycamore and Florida powerhouse IMG Academy. Although, it now appears as though the game was not legitimate whatsoever.
Not only was Bishop Sycamore a laughingstock on the field, but they also may not even be a high school football team at all.
Like Manti Teo’s girlfriend from back in the day, Bishop Sycamore appears to be a completely made up school and football program.
One of the CRAZIEST stories you'll ever see.
Bishop Sycamore, an alleged fake high school, reportedly lied to ESPN to get on national television.

Everyone's talking about Bishop Sycamore being a fake school, but I have it on good authority that Manti Te'o's girlfriend was a star student there.

Like the Manti Te’o girlfriend story, the Bishop Sycamore news is one of the more eery things we’ve seen happen in sports history.
ESPN definitely needs to do a little more research before scheduling “high school” teams to play on their network.
As for Manti Te’o, he’s now happily married after the whole girlfriend hoax.
