The two highest rated players for Victory- both lineman around 300 lbs.- have both transferred to Lake Gibson. Both likely would have started for Lakeland had they gone there. Rumor is Sarasota Booker's coach was just forced to resign as well. Booker has an out-of-state game scheduled and had some good players. Those now figure to go to one of the private schools...or Peacock. 

Sarasota Bookers Coach is gone, will be interesting to see if they keep this game or not https://www.si.com/high-school/florida/scottie-littles-steps-away-as-head-football-coach-at-sarasota-booker-florida-01js0j1p7d3t  

So, a team schedules an inferior opponent (one that it should be able to beat fairly easily) at the beginning of the season and pays them some amount of money to come play the game and take the loss . . . . Hmmm, sounds like almost every top tier D-1 college football program in the country (and every mid-to-low level team trying to bolster their athletic budget). 

Hell no! But I understand that. A lot of teams wouldn’t schedule those programs. They had plenty money to schedule a horrible team like North Miami Beach. Booker is a little better than them, but they still chose an opponent they know they can be comfortably. I know they have enough money to entice a team in the top 20-50 in FL. Hell even in Georgia where they are right next to there is plenty of quality teams who would play. But they cherry pick inferior teams they know they can beat. It’s a sorry mentality to have and I wouldn’t want men leading my son with that mentality 

So your saying Auburn wouldn't schedule schools like Central, Northwestern or St. Thomas
