Art Schlichter charged with $1M theft

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Former Ohio State quarterback Art Schlichter, whose NFL career was derailed by a gambling addiction, was charged Monday with stealing more than $1 million from a 68-year-old woman in suburban Columbus.
Schlichter has offered to cooperate with an ongoing police investigation into the sale of Ohio State football tickets and 2011 Super Bowl tickets, according to Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien, who didn't provide details on how the theft charge was related to the ticket investigation.
Schlichter, 50, was charged in Franklin County Municipal Court with one count of theft alleging he stole more than $1 million from the woman in suburban Dublin by deceiving her about the reason he took the money.
He took the money in cash, checks and credit card charges, according to the charge, which could also involve higher penalties because the woman is considered elderly under Ohio law. More charges are also likely against Schlichter, probably in federal court, his attorney said Monday without offering details.
Schlichter told reporters he had no comment as he surrendered at the county prosecutor's office Monday morning. He's due in court Tuesday.
Schlichter has been forthcoming with investigators and intends to cooperate, said his attorney, Sam Shamansky. Schlichter will likely remain in jail because he is on probation for similar offenses in Indiana, O'Brien said.
Schlichter, who played for Ohio State between 1978 and 1981, spent 10 years in prison for gambling-related crimes. He played for the Baltimore and Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo Bills, and the Detroit and Cincinnati Arena League teams. The NFL has suspended him for life.

Newton Signs with Under Armour
Cam Newton, who's expected to be one of the first quarterbacks taken in April's NFL draft, signed what CNBC.com reports is the most lucrative endorsement pact ever awarded an incoming NFL player.
Under Armour, the athletic apparel and footwear company, gave the Heisman Trophy winner a contract that seeks to capitalize on the momentum of his leading Auburn to a national championship as well as his potential as a professional endorser.
Although the sides did not disclose the exact financial terms, CNBC.com's sources said the contract would surpass the $1 million-per-year deal adidas gave Reggie Bush in 2006. As part of the deal, Under Armour will highlight Newton as it seeks to push a line of Newton-themed Auburn sneakers, jerseys and training gear.
Newton, from College Park, Ga., would become the second high-profile quarterback to join Under Armour's party in recent months, following 2010 NFL Most Valuable Player Tom Brady.
Newton, in his lone season at Auburn, led the Tigers to a 14-0 record and their first national title since 1957, and drew nearly as much attention for a pay-for-play scandal as for his dynamic performances.
On the field, he rushed for 1,473 yards and 20 touchdowns while passing for 2,854 yards and 30 TDs. He also set Auburn season records for both rushing and passing TDs and total offense, and an SEC mark for yards on the ground by a quarterback.
