Unsupported attributions in Biography section[edit]

A review of multiple statements in the Biography section are needed for relevance and Peacock. Additionally, Jim Doyle has not been the Governor of Wisconsin since 03-Jan-2011 making the final sentence out-of-date as it currently stands. Finally, if his philanthropic efforts mentioned in the final paragraph are considered noteworthy and relevant, they should likely be moved to a Personal Life section, see Bart Starr.

Vernand Morency grew up in Miami, Florida, where his parents, immigrants from Haiti, had him working in their family real estate business from the age of 5. This experience impacted him tremendously and helped shape a strong, disciplined work ethic which translated into successful careers in both professional baseball and football.
His love for real estate never went away and in 2006-07, Vernand was part of a syndicate group led by T Boone Pickens to develop the $250+ million Boone Pickens Stadium at his alma mater, Oklahoma State University. In 2007 and 2008, Vernand was twice competitively selected to participate in the prestigious NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurship Program at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.

Today, in addition to being an accomplished professional baseball and football player, Vernand invests, owns and manages properties across the country and is involved in several different non-profit initiatives, including work with Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and his Wisconsin Covenant initiative promising all eighth-graders affordable higher education upon academic success.
