Report: USC tailback Joe McKnight has been seen driving SUV owned by California businessman - ESPN
USC tailback Joe McKnight has been driving a 2006 Land Rover owned by a Santa Monica, Calif., businessman, the Los Angeles Times reported on Friday.
USC is investigating McKnight's use of the vehicle to find out if it is in violation NCAA rules. It is against NCAA rules for athletes to have "extra benefits" based on their ability.
The Times reported McKnight has been seen driving the SUV, that the California Department of Motor Vehicles says is registered to Scott Schenter.
Schenter, 47, works in marketing and owns a company that registered a Web site called 4joemcknight.com.
If McKnight is in violation of NCAA rules, it could affect his eligibility. USC plays Boston College in the Emerald Bowl on Dec. 26 in San Francisco.
McKnight is the Trojans' leading rusher with 1,014 yards this season.
McKnight told the Times on Wednesday he has ridden in the Land Rover but never driven it. McKnight's girlfriend, Johana Michelle Beltran, works as a secretary for Schenter, he said.
McKnight and Beltran are the parents of a 10-month-old son, Jaiden. McKnight told the Times the Land Rover belonged to "my baby mama's boss."
