ESPN’s Outside The Lines ran a report on USC’s O.J. Mayo receiving illegal benefits from his first year in highschool all the way up until last year. In the last 4-5 years Mayo has received up to $30,000 in cash and gifts in exchange for a verbal agreement to sign with BDA management when he made it to the NBA.

There are two things in this story that crack me up.

1. BDA management actually paid out $200,000 for O.J. Mayo, but most of that money was taken and spent by the middleman, Rodney Guillory.

2. You HAVE to see the look on O.J.’s face when ESPN puts him on the spot questioning these allegations. It reminds me of Miguel Tejada’s interview with E:60 a few weeks ago. Check it out in the vid below….

The following video is O.J. Mayo’s carefully thought out response to the above report.

Well there are several candidates judging from the mismatched bowl games, namely USC and Georgia.  A lesser case could be made for Mizzou but they got undressed by OU twice, who got decimated by WVU themselves.  There are two one loss teams in Kansas and Hawaii, but Hawaii got their pineapples beaten to a pulp by UGA.  So.. they are out.   Kansas got past Va Tech, but again they lost to Mizzou who…..exactly.  So we are left with USC and Georgia.  The Bulldogs can be eliminated for failing to win the SEC.  USC lost to Stanford.  Confused yet? 

The Stankoniforous One is all for a playoff system or a plus 1, somethin other than being subjected to an overmatched opponent in the ’ship game, or we ban the SEC from playin the Big 1o (11) for the title.  Here’s an idea, let’s pretend that 2007 never happened, as far as college football is concerned, deal?  It never happened.
