Matt Leinart, a guy who turned a successful collegiate career into a few millions of dollars as a bad NFL quarterback, would be wise to just take his millions and waltz off into the sunset. It's just bad, bad news otherwise.

From Scott M. Reid of OCRegister.com:

The Matt Leinart Flag Football League, a for-profit company, used the former USC Heisman Trophy winner’s non-profit foundation to secure access and special rates for sports fields around Orange County that otherwise would not have been available to the league, The Orange County Register has learned.

Ryan Leinart, Matt’s brother and executive director of the Matt Leinart Foundation, acknowledged to the Register that although the “Matt Leinart (Flag Football) League is a separate entity” from the Leinart Foundation, the league used the foundation’s non-profit status to acquire fields for the league at local schools and parks.

Because the league registered with local government agencies and school districts as a non-profit group, Matt Leinart Flag Football was able to use fields normally not available to for-profit groups and saved tens of thousands of dollars by paying special reduced rental fee rates reserved for non-profit organizations.

Get a clue, Leinart brothers: It's only legal when cartels like the NCAA roll like that.
