GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A 2014 University of Florida sports calendar featuring former Gators and New England Patriots football star Aaron Hernandez was approved before he was charged with killing three men, the school said Tuesday.
Officials approved the calendar last spring, prior to Hernandez being arrested on June 26, 2013, in the slaying of Odin Lloyd, said Florida spokesman Daniel Apple.
The calendar, which was still available for sale through Target.com, features a photograph of the former tight end for the month of July.
Apple said the calendar was not produced by the university, but a third party. Since it’s already been printed and distributed for sale, there’s not much the school can do, Apple said.
