Quarterback Matt Leinart, a USC Heisman winner and a top-10 draft bust who has been out of the NFL since 2012, has found a way to make money in the sport, by running a flag football league. But Leinart may have gotten himself into a bit of a jam by blending this for-profit effort with his non-profit foundation.
According to Scott M. Reid of the Orange County Register, Leinart’s flag football league used his foundation to gain access and special rates to sports fields that wouldn’t have been available to the operation.
Per the report, the Matt Leinart Flag Football League registered as a non-profit group, avoiding “tens of thousands of dollars” through reduced fees for using the fields.
