Today Baxter Holmes of the LOS ANGELES TIMES reported that the father of
star Nebraska quarterback
Taylor Martinez, Casey Martinez, received a licensing deal from Nebraska for
his fledgling apparel brand 13
months before his son signed to play football at the school.
Casey Martinez had a deal with Nebraska nearly a year before his football-
playing son, Taylor, did.
The father of Nebraska’s starting quarterback owns the sports apparel
company Corn Fed, and he entered
into a licensing agreement with the university’s athletic program about a
year before his son committed to
play football for the Cornhuskers.
In June 2007, records show, Nebraska became the first of four universities
to sign contracts with Corn Fed.
The others were Iowa State (April 2008), Iowa (June 2008) and Northern Iowa
(February 2009), though the
deal with Northern Iowa has since been canceled.
So what did the NCAA have to say about Taylor Martinez’s father, who before
his son signed with the
Huskers to play football essentially launched a brand of clothing with the
Nebraska University deal?
The NCAA said the business partnership does not violate college rules, but
spokesman Erik Christianson
acknowledged such deals “could raise concerns” about recruiting
inducements.
Casey Martinez’s “Corn Fed” apparel company hasn’t exactly taken off
since Nebraska agreed to allow him
to use its logo on his products, but that’s beside the point.
What’s the odds Nebraska would agree to a licensing deal with an obscure
apparel company like the one
Martinez was running if his son wasn’t being recruited to play football at
the school? Whether Taylor
Martinez was a highly-recruited football player is immaterial to this
situation.
This is, again, a clear-cut case of the NCAA simply ignoring a rule that it
already has on the books. Family
members of a football recruit are not allowed to benefit financially because
of that recruit’s football status.
In this particular instance, my guess is that the NCAA didn’t know about
Casey Martinez’s deal with the
school, but now that it has been informed of the arrangement, why isn’t the
NCAA now investigating what
appears to be a clear circumvention of the rules? | Y******e
