Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre was mentioned in a Mississippi audit in which the state alleged that a nonprofit group caught in an embezzlement scheme used federal money to pay the former player more than $1 million for speaking engagements in which he was not present at the events.

Shad White, the Mississippi state auditor, said his team identified $94 million in questionable spending by the Mississippi Department of Human Services, including payments for sports activities that appear to have no clear connection to help those in need throughout the state.
“If there was a way to misspend money, it seems DHS leadership or their grantees thought of it and tried it,” White said Monday, adding that the audit “shows the most egregious misspending my staff have seen in their careers.”
According to the audit, Favre received payments from the Mississippi Community Education Center, which had contracts with the Department of Human Services to spend money through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Favre Enterprises was paid $500,000 in December 2017 and $600,000 in June 2018 for speeches at three events, according to the audit.
The auditor determined that “the individual contracted did not speak nor was he present for those events.”
Favre is not facing criminal charges and the report lists the payments to him as “questioned” costs. White said “questioned” costs means “auditors either saw clear misspending or could not verify the money had been lawfully spent.” Farve has not released any statement on the case.
According to the Clarion-Ledger, more than $94 million in welfare money was “questioned” by auditors.
Additionally, the report found that pro wrestling legend Ted DiBiase and his sons Ted DiBiase Jr. and Brett DiBiase received payments over travel costs for events they never performed in as well as the Mississippi Community Education Center shelling out money for a college baseball tournament.
A former Human Services director and five others were indicted on state charges of embezzling $4 million months before the audit was released.

Favre will pay back the $500,000 immediately, with $600,000 more coming in installments. This came as a result of a state audit which revealed numerous “questioned” costs that came out of the state welfare budget.
Favre doesn’t face criminal charges, and he hasn’t commented on what happened.
What’s funny about all this is: Even before the audit, this story has been out there for a while. It’s just not that many people in the sporting world have been talking about it.
Earlier this year, Mississippi Today dropped a bombshell of a story revealing that the Mississippi Community Education Center, a nonprofit that gets most of its funding from the state welfare fund, had spent $5 million renovating the volleyball stadium at the University of Southern Mississippi.
If you’re wondering what a new volleyball stadium does to help people who are on welfare, well, that’s a really good question.
You might also be wondering what that has to do with Brett Favre.

Favre is a graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi. His daughter is on the volleyball team there. In an interview by the AP, Favre boasted about raising funds to build the stadium, and while some of the money was raised from individual donors, $5 million came from the state’s welfare budget.
Mississippi Today also reported that the Mississippi Community Education Center gave over $2 million of state welfare money to a company called Prevacus, which does concussion research and makes medical devices.
Favre invested in Prevacus, per Sports Illustrated. He sat on the advisory board.
Now we learn that Favre allegedly received over $1 million of allocated welfare money to make speeches he never attended.
“Upon a cursory review of those dates, auditors were able to determine that the individual contracted did not speak nor was he present for those events,” the auditor’s report said.
It’s good that Favre is paying up. But there are still a TON of questions remaining, and one of the biggest ones is why one of the poorest states in the union saw fit to spend millions of dollars out of the state’s welfare fund to build a volleyball stadium and invest in concussion research.
These are fine and noble causes, but taxpayers didn’t know they were paying for it, and a lot of needy people in Mississippi could have used that money.
