No his teammates aint benefiting from his dad they benefiting from a teammate.
What can you say? Are they gone say that he cant look out for his teammates cause his dad's connections made him rich?
Romeo got at least 25 million of his own dollars at his disposal, the NCAA gone declare him ineligible ? This next season at USC is gone determine a lot as far as the direction of gifts. cause I know Percy aint gone have Romeo in a dorm and I know Romeo aint living by himself.

this is gonna be alot more frequent unless the NBA makes another age rule change. All those 1 and done players have nothing to lose by taking gifts

The NCAA is not going to punish USC because they're a cash cow. Coincidence that we've heard about USC athletes receiving money on the side multiple times in the last couple of years?
Yup, the NCAA is so much of a joke IMO it's not even funny.
I'm sure that mad schools/players are doing this yet they go after little Alabama State University to prove a point?
Also, they get Kelvin Sampson for making phone calls and giving out t-shirts + drawstring bags?
I know "rules are rules" but I'm not mad at Mayo or any other athlete getting theirs...screw the NCAA

and blind eyes are turned in instances like how Milt Wagner somehow ends up as an assistant coach at Memphis....coincidentally, Dajuan ends up going there fora season....
it goes even further than accepting payments....
before the whole Pitt scandal at SJU, dudes on the B-Ball team were living a life of luxury....

A recruit getting lavish gifts from USC? Blasphemy!

Everyone knew about Guillory well before O.J. stepped foot at SC, so why does ESPN decide to run these investigations now? This isn't news, it's ESPN cashing in on a story that will resonate through the draft and into next season. If USC is guilty in this, which I have no idea how people come to the conclusion, then the Pac-10 and NCAA are guilty as well since they all ran investigations into O.J.'s eligibility and concluded that he never received any improper benefits. SC banned Guillory from games and did everything they could to put distance between him and O.J.. Also, it's not like SC was in a heated recruiting battle for O.J., he literally fell into their lap, so how can anyone think that SC bought O.J.? But then again, people here run with speculation and hear what they want to hear.
The Mayo hate on here is RIDICULOUS ...
Seriously!
My entire point to this whole thing is that it wasn't unexpected. A guy like him, you just knew something like this would come out eventually. I may have gone a bit far with calling him a dirtbag, but I mean like dude knows he's going to hit the NBA at some point and be loaded. Why risk it on getting a couple hundred here and there and having clothes for you? Student athletes get free clothes anyway, hell I wasn't even a student athlete at St Johns and I got mad clothes for free. I know its not like go out to a club clothes or whatever, but it is something. Dude could have seriously messed up his career. This isn't exactly something new though, and you will here about this more and more. Just not surprising it was him...
"A guy like him" - Exactly, what the hell do you mean by this statement? You don't even know the guy. You call him a dirtbag and then when youget called out you backpedal like an NFL cornerback.
Dudes calling for the "Death Penalty",. Yet they root forprograms such as Texas, Oklahoma, UNC, Duke, Arizona, etc.
This $$@* goes on EVERYWHERE if you have a supreme talent...Esp if you got mean @%% boosters...Like Bama Florida State, Kentucky Duke, etc....
Fixed!
I like how dreClark tip toed around Duke and FSU,, yet puts Kentuckyon blast.
Ya'll dudes are hilarious with your "holier than thou" attitudes. I'm all for athletes getting paid, perks, etc. The NCAA exploits them.

duke has no where near the amount of boosters that the other schools have. FSU is another story
duke has no where near the amount of boosters that the other schools have
C'mon Big Mike, I know you know better than that.
you do no he put his name in the NBA draft right? what ever happened at USC will have no affect on him in the NBA what so everOriginally Posted by d3772000
i watched the special on espn twice....dude is screwed...and so is his career possibly.
SMH @ thinking you can get away with that by funneling through your friends....and SMH even more @ dude who went all out on the snitch status...

Its a cycle of this nonsense with the NBA where "questionable" players are still taken and then in turn they do something to embarass themselves, their teams, and the league.

Oh boy, here we go. Where you get your facts amaze me, but I know for a fact Duke has no where near the boosters that the big football schoolshave. Alleva made sure of that. Not to mention I was with the basketball and football players day in and day out and NEVER seen or heard of these dudesreceiving "benefits", especially dudes like JJ and Shelden.
And the whole thing with Duhon gets blown out of proportion. Dudes family was living comfortably before he even got to Duke so his moms packin' up andmoving to Durham was her doing. And the only reason they moved was for Chris to be close to his lil' brother (I'm sure you seen that tweety birdheaded brother of his on TV before).
