According to a report on ESPN.com, potential lottery pick O.J. Mayo received thousands of dollars in cash, clothes, and other benefits in apparent violation of NCAA rules while he was still in high school and during his one year at USC, a former Mayo associate told ESPN's "Outside the Lines."

Louis Johnson, who was a part of Mayo's inner circle until recently, said Mayo accepted around $30,000 in cash and gifts during the past four years from Rodney Guillory, a 43-year-old Los Angeles event promoter.

In exchange for the payments and gifts, Mayo entered into a verbal agreement to allow BDA represent him when he turned pro.
