This podcast takes an in-depth look at the sanctions brought against Bishop McCort Catholic school. All of Bishop McCort‘s athletic programs have been placed on suspension for three years with the suspension of the school’s head wrestling coach Bill Bassett as the team is facing recruiting allegations.
