NCAA to investigate Mayo after getting 'new information'
#1
HOUSTON -- Saying the NCAA has "new information," president Myles Brand promised to investigate former Southern California basketball star O.J. Mayo, who allegedly received thousands of dollars in gifts from money given to an event promoter by a sports agency.

On Sunday, ESPN reported that Bill Duffy Associates provided Rodney Guillory with about $200,000 before Mayo arrived at USC. Louis Johnson, a former associate of Mayo's, told "Outside the Lines" that Mayo received about $30,000 and other benefits from Guillory while in high school and during his one season at USC.


Forde: USC Should Have Known

On the heels of the Reggie Bush debacle, USC should be crushed by the NCAA, the Pac-10 and its own administration for the latest revelations about O.J. Mayo, writes Pat Forde. Column
• Forde: USC should have known
• Brand: NCAA has no new info
• TrueHoop on Mayo

Mayo declared for the NBA draft after the season and hired BDA Sports' Calvin Andrews as his agent.

Brand, speaking Tuesday in Houston to kick off this week's Division II National Championships Festival, said that "our enforcement division has new information" about Mayo's case "and as a matter of fact, when we have new information on any case, we will investigate."

He would not comment further on the specifics of Mayo's case.
