When I heard about the Outside the Lines piece about O.J. Mayo, it made me ill.
If there is validity to this, it becomes embarrassing to USC. This is something that is damaging to college basketball.
The Mayo problem was established years ago when he was an up-and-coming high school player. If a school hears rumors about that athlete, usually the best scenario is to stay away. Unfortunately, we are in a world where schools want to win at almost any cost. Story
