Eastern Christian has 54 students and 46 are on the football team. All classes are online. No address, phone, etc. SI implies that there may be some interesting eligibilty rulings from the NCAA on their grads. They may be ahead of their time. We may see an explosion of this type of athletic online schools. Minus the online stuff, European schools do have athletic high schools.
If this has previously been posted, I did not see it. I do not know if it can be accessed online; I got my hard copy last night.

Is there some rule or law that gives extra protection to "christian" schools? It seems like these types of athletic factories are always christian schools
P.S. What are the other 8 kids at the school doing? Basketball?

Huntington Prep Academy doesn't really exist. The kids attend Huntington St. Joseph's, which is a private catholic school.
