According to Yahoo! Sports, Tim Floyd paid a man named Rodney Guillory,who helped deliver O.J. Mayo to the Trojans program.

Tim Floyd is under investigation for reportedly paying someone to bring O.J. Mayo to USC.

This information was given by a former friend of Mayo’s, Louis Johnson, who told NCAA officials (as well as the FBI, IRS and U.S. Attorney’s Office) that Floyd gave at least $1,000 in cash to Guillory so that he could continue to ply Mayo with star treatment and numerous gifts.

Didn’t USC learn anything from the Reggie Bush scandal? The college is already under a three-year investigation for violating NCAA regulations in both the football and men’s basketball programs.

But beyond all of that, I have one important question.  Was O.J. Mayo even worth it?

USC’s Tim Floyd Bought Mayo

Now he reports that former Mayo lackey and whistle blower Louis Johnson met with the NCAA, the Pacific 10 conference and officials from USC to discuss some, if not all of the things Johnson told ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” last month about Mayo receiving tons of money from a minion working for a Los Angeles sports agency.

Johnson, a former sports writer for the Long Beach Press-Telegram and the Orange County Register is reportedly writing a book on what he knows, what he saw and what he did during his time with Mayo. Quite naturally he has an attorney, David M. Murphy, who declined comment on what was said during the discussion.

The Internal Revenue Service, the FBI and the U.S attorney’s office is also probing into possible “misuse of charitable organization funds” my Mayo caregiver Rodney Guillory.

And so far USC continues to keep mum on the just what they let Guillory get away with while he was babysitting Mayo.

I guess we’ll just have to wait until Johnson’s book comes out.
