Here is the story of kid who tried to play the NCAA's rules and look where it got him. If this kid could've been drafted and then played in the NBA's developmental league then he would have a leg up on playing in the "A" division now and would not have wasted the time of the NCAA, the coaches and the Juco who have all managed to get a piece of this kid before he has even got a shot at the big boys.
I so despise the hypocrisy of the NCAA, the politics that it plays with it's new cohort the NBA and the legions of people who want to fault the kids who get caught up in this web of garbage.
The kid should've just taken the money to play at Memphis or Maryland and while people would've talked junk about him, at least he would've gotten 'paid' instead of 'played'.
HEY CURLYMO GOOD POINT AND ill tell you why?? another news story thats getting worn out like this spygate thing???? lets let it go!!!! good or bad???? hey ???? NEWSFLASH!!!!! GAS PRISES ARE ON THE RISE!!!!!!!!!!!!????? GEE IS THIS TRUE???????
Your problem is that if this had of been a white kid taking money under the table you would have been right there with everyone else screaming your head off. OJ Mayo is dumber than a post, been on the take since early high school, maybe jr high, is ALL that is wrong with professional sports and I don't care if he was from Lithuania. He's lacking in character despite his mother's efforts, he's corrupt to the core and he's never going to amount to anything more than another darius miles in the pros. A waste of a draft pick. He has no character and people without character, people who think it's ok to take money under the table end up like Chris Webber. All stats, no heart, no character, no titles.
