Mayo Finds Nugget of Trouble: USC freshman forward O.J. Mayo, one of the most talented players in the nation, received a reprimand from the NCAA for accepting tickets to an NBA game. Mayo got free tickets to a Denver Nuggets/Los Angeles Lakers game from his friend Carmelo Anthony. The NCAA ruled that Mayo must contribute the value of the tickets to a charitable organization, but he does not have to miss any games. Coach Tim Floyd said he accepts partial blame for telling Mayo that he could go to the game. Mayo averages 19.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. [1/26/08]

-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
