“Propst has not yet signed a contract, so his involvement could fall through before Thursday.

The new school, set to be built in Coosada in Elmore County, appears to be designed similarly to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, which recruits and attracts players from across the country and markets itself as a gateway to college and professional sports.

Propst first rose to national prominence as head coach at Hoover, when the suburban Birmingham school was featured on MTV’s “2-A-Days.” At Hoover, Propst compiled a 110-16 record and won five state championships, but he left Hoover amid controversy after the 2007 season and resurfaced at Colquitt County, where he led the south Georgia school to 119 wins, two state titles and several other trips to the championship game.

Then, last spring, Colquitt County fired Propstafter an investigation accused him of providing “pills” to players and being verbally abusive.

USA Academy’s football team’s creation will also be chronicled in a reality show, which will be distributed through the school’s website or other streaming services, according to USA Today.

The football program will have a new stadium, fieldhouse and indoor facility, and the team is supposed to begin play this fall.

USA Academy’s athletic teams are expected to play a national schedule. AHSAA rules will not allow member schools to play the new start-up team.“
