Former Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart is in a football controversy, and no, it doesn’t have to do with a battle for the starting quarterback position. Instead, Leinart is in some hot water for using his charity’s non-profit status to secure fields for his flag football league at a discounted rate.
The Orange County Register reports that Leinart’s brother, Ryan, who runs the Matt Leinart Flag Football League, admitted to using his brother’s charity to get the fields for cheap. The problem is the flag football league is run for profit, while the Matt Leinart Foundation is a non-profit organization.
