Clearly a scam. They aren’t even trying to get affiliated with the NCAA or NAIA. They have/had dudes on the roster that in no way shape or form would be eligible at any affiliated institution.
Gumbs has long been a scammer. He has sketchy relations to some business dealings to say the least. His last “venture” Stellar Prep was largely a disaster. He was ahead of his time, in that numerous transfers in and out were common. I think most if not all of his guys had to go Juco because they could not get NCAA eligible due to the lack of accreditation of Stellar Prep.
What is also disappointing is the lack of playing opportunities after HS in CA. If you’re not D1, you have the JC route, which is great. After JuCo most of our local guys go to FCS, D2, NAIA out of state. There is already so much news about football. There is a lot of fraud and vice versa. I love football so much that reading all this, it sometimes scares me. I even looked for hr topics for work, and found

I guess I'm working somewhere in the wrong place. Besides the small and expensive D3 SoCal leave we have no small college football. At least we have the 3 FCS school and USD.
