OJ Mayo Takes Cash From Agent/Scout/Bookie!!!
Many people are making comments about OJ Mayo receiving thousands of dollars in cash, clothes and other benefits from BDA. The gifts were to secure a verbal agreement between OJ Mayo and BDA to represent him when he turned pro. This is a more common event in High School and College’s than people would like to let on. I attended a D-1 school in the SEC for 3 years and befriended many of the basketball and football athletes during my stent. I personally witnessed guys receive monies from boosters, girlfriends-via-scouts and Alumni. Many of them felt that the University was making tons of money off of their efforts and giving them peanuts in return. Athletes go to college to secure a great JOB in the NBA, NFL, NHL and so on. Until the NCAA reavaluates how college athletes are compensated for their efforts, this issue will only get worse. Especially since the age to jump from college to pro has been increased.
