"Brett Steigh, the money man whose contributions helped the demise of high school football programs at Narbonne, St. Bernard and Bishop Montgomery, is now paying to sponsor a nine-game television schedule by LA36 despite disapproval from City Section commissioner Vicky Lagos."
"He admitted paying parents to move their sons to play for Narbonne in 2024, which is on a three-year City Section probation and ineligible for the playoffs. He also said he paid for tuition of students at St. Bernard, which dropped its program for three years."
"Randy Rosenbloom, who is the main broadcaster of the LA36 games, said of Steigh, "He wanted to do something for the kids.""
Brett Steigh is sponsoring a nine-game LA36 high school football television schedule while City Section commissioner Vicky Lagos objects. Lagos said she has no control over LA36 because it is an independent organization, and she appreciates exposure for City Section athletes but does not approve of Steigh's past experiences with City Section high schools. Steigh previously contributed to the demise of programs at Narbonne, St. Bernard and Bishop Montgomery, admitted paying parents to move sons to Narbonne, and said he paid tuition for students at St. Bernard. Bishop Montgomery canceled its varsity season after ineligible players were found; Narbonne is on a three-year probation and ineligible for playoffs; St. Bernard dropped its program for three years. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles told him in a legal letter to avoid involvement with archdiocese schools. LA36 aired Narbonne vs. Santa Paula at his request; schools control their broadcast rights during the regular season.
