In today's world where students are as fully aware of the college sports money machine as they are about new messages on their Facebook inbox, it's crazy to think that these athletes don't or shouldn't get paid.

Over the past couple days, ESPN has been hyping up their "shocking" discovery that O.J. Mayo received improper benefits going back to his days as a high schooler in West Virginia...to me, the thing that is the most shocking is that ESPN is "shocked" that Mayo's name came up in an improper benefits   more...

I get the reality of today's NCAA, but as a Trojan alumni, I have a hard time feeling like OJ Mayo was ever a Trojan at all. One (year, Tourney game) and done. When someone's career or tenure with a single team is that short, are we really supposed to remember them as a member of our team? I'm   more...

This shouldn't surprise anyone. What is surprising is that O.J. plans to finish out the academic semester. Good luck in the NBA, Mayo. Keep in mind, though, that players at the next level will often be better than you, and at times you'll have to -- GASP -- pass the ball. You'll also probably have   more...

The media has reported that it was a "hard elbow", but another player states that Mayo clearly punched him. Either way, its going to be an interesting   more...

Super recruit OJ Mayo scored 32 points but led the Trojans to an opening game loss to unranked Mercer. The Trojan guard however, had only 7 points when it actually mattered and led the team with 8 turnovers.
