Romeo is giving the gifts next season.
Whats the NCAA gone say when they all sitting front row at a lakers game watching Mayo?
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 faras the direction of gifts. cause I know Percy aint gone have Romeo in a dorm and I know Romeo aint living by himself.

I was also wondering about how that. What would the NCAA say about a player spending his own money on himself and his teammates?

Of course he can't look out for his teammates. If that stuff was legal, every school would get a billionaire's son on their team and have him handout cash. Romeo doesn't have to live in a dorm, but if he has a roommate from the team, the roommate has to pay his fair share of rent.

That's what I'm saying DoubleJ's... I mean there was a thread this week about the controversy of the UCLA program and Wooden yet you don't hearabout that.
It's really whatever, I hope they don't implement that two year rule (even tho I know they will) cause I want all of the extremely gifted players to dotheir one year bid and get the hell up outta dodge...

It's a joke how many haters are on this board. The only reason SC is being singled out in this is because ESPN's formula in creating stories ispropping up programs with immense hype and then bringing them down with "investigations" that are just as often speculative smear campaigns as theyare truth. 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 cometo 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 neverreceived 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 SCwas 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 withspeculation and hear what they want to hear.

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 havegone 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 acouple 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 Igot 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. Thisisn'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.

Whether or not ESPN is putting SC "on blast" is irrelevant. It isn't like ESPN is making up this story with no proof to back it up. Ifthey're clean, they're clean. If not, then they deserve whatever's coming to them...sorry.

A lot of teams send out investigators to look up the athletes they are interested in. And O.J's stock went up because the investigators found out hehasn't been doing anything wrong. Dude will be alright.

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).
