What’s the fix for student-athletes accepting gifts?
O.J. Mayo has reportedly received money and gifts for years from Rodney Guillory, who in turn was paid by the sports agency that recently signed Mayo. So what? To read Nik Lampros' view, click here. To read Adam ... If the allegation that Los Angeles events promoter Rodney Guillory provided former USC basketball star O.J. Mayo with nearly $30,000 in money and gifts while Mayo was still an amateur turns out to be correct, the fallout will likely lead to the firings of USC Athletic Director Mike Garrett and basketball coach Tim Floyd. Hold on, I’ll get to O.J. Mayo in a second. First, let me tell you a story: This is not where the UCLA baseball team thought it would be 48 games into its season. PALO ALTO — The cheers of “undefeated” and the drenched clothes of coach Adam Krikorian were telltale signs that the UCLA women’s water polo team had done it again. For the fourth year in a row, the Bruins were taking home the NCAA national championship. With a pair of 4-0 victories in the first and second rounds of the NCAA Championships, the UCLA women’s tennis team has earned a berth into the Round of 16 in Tulsa, Okla. With one pitch and one giant swing of the bat, the game – and possibly the season – changed. PALO ALTO — As the final horn echoed across Stanford’s Avery Aquatic Complex, one fan amid a sea of blue and gold held up a sign that read “UCLA SENIORS 4 for 4.” Going into the Pac-10 Multi-Event Championships in Tempe, Ariz., the men’s and the women’s track and field teams had a common goal – to get some points on the board. For the UCLA women’s golf team, anything short of a first-place finish is a letdown. In their last meet before the start of the postseason, the men’s and women’s track and field teams turned in more solid results over the weekend and look to carry the momentum into the upcoming meets. Chalk off another Bruin team with a top seed. No. 3 UCLA softball (45-7, 17-4 Pac-10) was rewarded for a difficult nonconference schedule with the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAA Division I Softball Tournament bracket. Water polo overcomes slow start to advance to final Early in the second quarter of the NCAA semifinal, the top-seeded UCLA women’s water polo team was granted a promising 6-on-4 advantage. As the ball fell toward junior Tanya Gandy, wide open just inches from the goal, it bounced off her fingers and into the hands of the nearest UC Davis defender.The only thing that surprised this columnist was the low, low price that allegedly bought O.J. Mayo
