A Nebraska-based sports marketing firm has admitted wrongdoing and agreed to pay a record $10,000 fine for illegally contacting Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware, Texas Secretary of State George Bayoud said.
In December, Bayoud said he would fine Team America and its agent, former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers of Nebraska, $10,000 each for contacting Ware. But on Tuesday he said Rodgers had been acting only as an agent for Team America and would not be fined separately.
