"We had no idea that someone else was handing out money" says USC
Rodney Guillory, seen often at the USC basketball offices, around the locker room, and at pickup games at the Galen Center, where Mayo played last summer reportedly received more than $200,000 in cash and gifts - of which subsequently funneled $30,000 to Mayo while Mayo was in high school and during his one season at USC.
USC is preparing its initial defense, including telling the NCAA that it previously had banned the promoter, Rodney Guillory, from receiving tickets to Trojans games. The National Basketball Players Association is investigating BDA Sports Management to see whether the organization gave money to Mayo to secure him as a client. Didnt the NBA create this animal? The all but banned kids from being able to go straight from high school to the pros. So what happens?? You have kids who are going to college just to get to the pros and more than likely dont care that they are 'breaking' college rules because they feel they will not be there (in college) that long anyway. So 'by the time they figure it out, Ill be in the league.' I think the NBA closed the door on one animal to open a new can of worms.
