SuC's Defense Re. OJ2 Funnier Than OJ's Infront Of Judge Ito

USC is planning on telling the NCAA it did not know of any improper activity between O.J. Mayo and an event promoter alleged to have given the basketball player $30,000 in cash and gifts, according to a Los Angeles Daily News report.
School officials said the NCAA might speak with the school this week, according to the report, and USC is preparing its initial defense, including telling the NCAA that it previously had banned the promoter, Rodney Guillory, from receiving tickets to Trojans games.
"Right now, we're just trying to weather the storm," a USC official said in the Daily News report.

The Daily News also reported that USC will emphasize to the NCAA that it had banned Guillory from receiving tickets to USC games in order to avoid any accusations of impropriety involving Mayo.
From the same ESPN article:
According to the Daily News, however, Guillory was seen often at the USC basketball offices, around the locker room, and at pickup games at the Galen Center, where Mayo played last summer.
The most amazing aspect of SuC dealing with its scandals is to see its officials spout this kind of cocomeme excuses probably knowing full well that everyone else can see that they are spouting asinine and stupendous excuses. Yet the local media will lap all of this up and report it without any kind of scrutiny.
This is so insulting to the intelligence of any self respecting fans of college sports that it will further lower the diminished credibility of anyone who has been stupid enough to buy their excuses up to this point.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of BruinsNation's (BN) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of BN's editors.

Inconsistent:
If “USC is planning on telling the NCAA it did not know of any improper activity between O.J. Mayo and an event promote” then why would they have any need to ban Rodney from the games?
By admitting that they had previously banned this guy from games, doesn’t that prove that they were at least aware of something fishy going on with Mayo?

Not just that
How can they claim that they couldn’t have suspect any “improper activity” by Guillory even though it should have been fairly well known within their own compliance department that Guillory had been busted for giving airfare to Jeff Trepagnier?
Why was he allowed in their offices?

I can answer your questions
justsc is institutionally out of control.
justsc is institutionally arrogant.
justsc is institutionally stupid.
Any or all of those are applicable.

OTL report...
Had footage of guillory at SUC games at Galen. wasn’t guillory also confronted by Nachi at the conclusion of OJ2’s press conference when he announced he was going pro at a SUC facility?? I presume that it was on campus somewhere since the SUC backdrop was up.

Yes
Got this from a Wolf article in the DN that Ajax blogged last week:
This is the same Guillory who was practically allowed to live in the USC basketball offices, had his run of the school’s basketball facilities last summer and accompanied Mayo on his official and unofficial campus visits.
There can be no denial of the cozy relationship, all in the name of securing the player billed as the best in USC history.
A few more examples of that relationship: When USC point guard Angelo Johnson became eligible, Guillory told the Daily News first because he said Floyd told him. If you watched Guillory escape an ESPN reporter during Sunday’s report, he does it by slipping into the basketball offices.

Sorry
Didn’t blockquote properly. Here is another try:

That is all from Scott Wolf.

Thought so!!
When Guillory was giving his repeated “No comment”, I thought he slipped into a USC training room or office. I’d be interested to see when Guillory breaks his silence if USC doesn’t give him hush money.

USC official
Does anyone know if that USC official is still looking for Nicole Simpson’s real killer?

OJ 2 on the lookout
Per Scott Ostler in the SF Chronicle, OJ2 said that he is innocent and will not rest until he himself has found the freeloader.

Per Dan Patrick a week or so ago...
...wonder if OJ2 is going to write a book: If I really did accept extra benefits…

It took them a whole week to figure out this out?
If you ask me whether I know something or not, it takes me about half a second. I guess they’ve been busy “making sure” that people “don’t know anything” when the NCAA comes calling. I’d also guess that this process is pretty expensive.

you should make shirts out of that!!

This would be an awesome shirt
I know I’d buy one. Watching the blank stares of SUC baseball cap wearing troglodytes as they try to figure out what the shirts mean would make the cost worth it and then some.

You need to put that up in a FanShot 102.

And the NCAA will do...
nothing about this outrage. $C has no control over their institutions and the NCAA will fiddle while college atheletics burn.
Victory or until next year!

institutional control?
This has nothing to do with institutional control. This is an institution complicit in this activity. It is becoming increasingly clear that $C has not simply turned the other cheek, but provided an environment in which activity such as this would flourish.
Dustball!

Thank You,
dustball, you are absolutely correct on this. They are complicit, they are accomplices.
