USC: Agent Drops Mayo Amid Recruiting Allegations



Agent Drops Mayo Amid Recruiting Allegations: Bill Duffy Associates and agent Calvin Andrews have dropped USC freshman O.J. Mayo from the firm’s roster of athletes as allegations swirl that Mayo received gifts and money from BDA Sports funneled through an events promoter. Mayo is a likely top five pick in the NBA Draft, with some projections having him going as high as No. 2 to Miami. Bill Duffy Associates said they want Mayo to enjoy the NBA Draft process rather than having to address the potential scandal about improper gifts while in school. The firm also asked the NBA Players Association to waive the 15-day period that prevents another agent from signing Mayo. [5/23/08]
