Allegedly, the former USC star and projected Lottery Pick in the 2008 received thousands of dollars in cash, clothes and other benefits while at USC and at Huntington High School in West Virginia. A flat-screen television for Mayo's dorm room, cell phone service, a hotel room, clothes, meals and airline tickets were some of the things mentioned by a former member of Mayo's inner circle Louis Johnson.
It is being said that OJ gave a verbal agreement to big shit sports agent Bill Duffy while in high school that in exchange for the benefits, that OJ would sign with his management firm upon entering the NBA.
Shit, as much as I hate to see college athletes get hated on like this, the paper trail is way too thick. Those who know of OJ's past know that he was constructed to be an NBA player ever since he was in the 8th grade. He's alot older than the typical freshman(21 years) and his commitment to USC screamed one and done since it was announced two years ago.
To be honest, it's only going to screw over USC and OJ has virtually nothing to lose and only needs to deny it all the way to the bank (see: Reggie Bush). USC can potentially lose scholorships, tournament participation, and get butt-raped by the way too up tight NCAA.
