Favre donated his own money and helped raise funds for the facility, and text messages, which have become public in legal filings as part of the civil lawsuit, show he pushed state officials for funding during the time his daughter was on the team. The university's athletic foundation received $5 million in TANF funds. According to the state audit and the civil lawsuit, Favre was also paid $1.1 million from TANF funds for speeches the auditor says Favre never made. He eventually paid the money back, but the auditor has demanded he also pay $228,000 in interest. Prevacus, a company developing a concussion drug in which Favre was the top outside investor and stockholder, also received TANF funds." https://www.espn.co.uk/nfl/story/_/id/37565299/brett-favre-mississippi-welfare-case-line-explained #EDUUSUniversityOfSouthernMississippi
