Hall Of Fame Football Coach Donnan Ran Ponzi Scheme



Jim Donnan, a Hall of Fame football coach who led teams at the University of Georgia and Marshall University, is facing regulatory claims that he helped run a Ponzi scheme that defrauded fellow coaches and former players, Bllomberg reports.

Donnan, who became a television commentator for ESPN after leaving coaching, and a business partner siphoned more than $8 million for themselves while misleading investors in their West Virginia-based business GLC Limited, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said in a complaint filed in federal court in Atlanta. Donnan, 67, and Gregory Crabtree, 50, paid fraudulent returns from investor funds, the SEC said.
