USC: Mayo Finds Nugget of Trouble



Mayo Finds Nugget of Trouble: USC freshman forward O.J. Mayo, one of the most talented players in the nation, received a reprimand from the NCAA for accepting tickets to an NBA game. Mayo got free tickets to a Denver Nuggets/Los Angeles Lakers game from his friend Carmelo Anthony. The NCAA ruled that Mayo must contribute the value of the tickets to a charitable organization, but he does not have to miss any games. Coach Tim Floyd said he accepts partial blame for telling Mayo that he could go to the game. Mayo averages 19.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. [1/26/08]
