Via Wikipedia, here are some of the unethical practices of Todd's father:
The claims also included strict workout regimens during his early years and complete abstinence from fast food. While Marinovich's mother was pregnant with Todd, her diet was also under close scrutiny, she was to eat only lean meals high in protein and her husband forced her to give up cigarette smoking, although she admits to having "to sneak into the garage for an occasional puff." After Todd's birth, his father tied his right hand behind his back, forcing the youngster to become left-handed. In 1987, Marinovich racked up a national record 9,194 passing yards at Capistrano Valley High. He was awarded the Dial Award for the national high school scholar-athlete of the year in 1987
Todd was also refered to as "Robo QB" when coming out of college and following a disappointing pro career where he was busted for drug use, called "Todd Marijuanavich"
I somehow don't think he would have made it at BYU with it's honor code.
