Excerpted from today's Washington Post. The HS players currently "enrolled" are now all "Free Agents." Who's kidding who with diploma mills like this?

"Founded in 2006 by Cliff Findlay, a Las Vegas car dealership heavyweight, Findlay Prep quickly established itself as one of the world’s most successful high school basketball programs, producing a 381-43 (.899) all-time record.
But Findlay Prep was viewed with a critical eye before it got off the ground, said Eddie Bonine, former executive director of the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association. It wasn’t a school as much as a basketball team: 12 teenage boys from across the globe, sharing a house owned by Findlay, a UNLV booster.
The program lacked its own education curriculum as well as its own classrooms, so the team took courses at Henderson International, a nearby private school, when it wasn’t barnstorming the country as part of a 30-game schedule."
------------------------------------------
Why are they closing? Sounds like this Henderson International had enough of the "arrangement." They are looking for a "new campus" to maybe restart the "school" in future years. Any vacant buildings in South Miami?
