But a probe into College of Faith revealed disturbing questions about the legitimacy of NCAA football records, big-money “guarantee” payments from stronger teams to weaker ones, and a lack of oversight of schools that claim to provide religious instruction.

College of Faith’s story centers on the ambitions of Thomas, 43, a self-taught minister and part-time truck driver who played linebacker on the practice team at Mississippi Valley State — Jerry Rice’s alma mater — before casting himself as head of an online school for second-rate players that provides almost no education.

Fit, trim and 6-foot-2, Thomas has a wide smile, an ingenuous demeanor and a passion for football. He speaks with righteous intensity, peppering conversations with biblical references and ministerial exhortations.
