I will come out and say what is apparent point blank Champagnat Catholic is telling the kids they can get them money from Schools right now as a little taste of the type of money they will get when they play for school X. They are also telling them they can get them into XYZ all star games and on TV when they play for state. They are telling these come be a star in the smaller dvision and you will get noticed faster than playing in the large divisions. The whole be a big fish in a small pond mind philosphy. They are are also telling them they will take care of the athlete in the classroom to make sure they get the grades needed one way or another.
Why would a kid want to play at school that has no field and no weight room, unless they are getting a major incentive. The school practices in a park.
An you ask what does the school get for making a deal with the devil by letting Genron set up his player for sale brokerage, well they get a ton of publicity which in turn makes regular full tuition paying type kids want to attend the school thus increasing in enrollment and revenue.
The Bag Man has a willing feeder institution in Champagnat Catholic that will go out at get the kids they have interest in, then handle them in almost mini-farming system. Here is an article on how the bagman works and then consider what Genron is doing.

Here is the ESPN Outside the lines where JON "genron" DRUMMOND openly admits to be paying paid as a go between for colleges and athletes.
Here is the link.

Here is another story where Drummond openly talks bad about Clemson, an I thought it was the head coach that ran the program not the assistants.

What you mention about the school coming out about the money unfortunately can not be only said about this school. The people I have spoken with involved with Champagnat never mentioned that to me. The mention about bags of money is a conversation that is brought up constantly everywhere because there are so many middle men in south Florida it's ridiculous.
Besides the money a lot of private schools are also saying the same thing about playing for a smaller school and standing out while making a deeper run into the playoffs so I don't hold that against anyone because that is all about the kid and exposure.
