Remember old Mike Woodbury? The guy who went on a secretly tape-recorded tirade against a basketball player at his "school"?

Well, he's back in the news, this time relating to the scam of a football program he put together at "Nation Christian Academy."
quote:

The Nation Christian Academy's first post-graduate football team was recruited for the 2018 season on promises of rigorous college-preparatory courses and dorm life with two meals a day, former players, coaches and staff told TCPalm.

But what they found was overcrowded housing, unsafe transportation and inadequate nutrition and education, they alleged. TCPalm’s investigation into the school and lone board member Mike Woodbury found:

-About 40 players and a “mom” lived in a six-bedroom house, violating city code.
-Coaches drove players to games in 16-plus-capacity vans, apparently violating state law requiring a Class C commercial driver license.
-Police were called to the house 10 times in less than three months.
-Meals were meager and sometimes not provided, and one player said the team went almost two days without food being prepared.
-Players said the school offered only one core class and one SAT/ACT prep class.

He seems like a good guy.

The 3,924-square-foot house had a pool, three-car garage and 4½ bathrooms, players said.

“It was a nice house, big pool,” Powers said.

Let me fix that for you.
