Early life

Charles M. Barnes Jr. was born in Akron, Ohio.[1] He was the son of former Dayton Tire & Rubber Company president Pat Barnes and a former P.R. manager for Firestone.[citation needed] He graduated from the University of Southern California in 1953 with a Bachelor of Arts.[2][3]

Career

After graduating, Barnes was a public information officer with the United States Air Force for two years. He attained the rank of first lieutenant. He then worked as a salesman for Texaco for two years.[3] He worked in the public relations department for Firestone Tire and Rubber Company in Akron and Los Angeles.

Simpson, Pat Haden, Johnny Unitas, Evel Knievel and Calvin Hill.[1][2][citation needed] He negotiated O. J. Simpson's contract with the Buffalo Bills, which at its time was the largest contract for a professional football player, at over US$300,000 a year.[1]

Barnes helped form the American Basketball Association. He was a representative along with E. J. Bannon for the Indianapolis group at the league's charter meeting when the Indiana Pacers joined the league.[1] In 1970, he moved his headquarters to Los Angeles.[1] He was a member of the group that built the Ontario Motor Speedway. He served as the speedway's president for a time.[1] Barnes briefly served as president, then commissioner of the World Football League.[citation needed]
