Tip of the iceberg?

Two revealing details

"There was an ongoing relationship between Rodney Guillory and Tim Floyd," said Johnson's attorney, Anthony Salerno. "He was going to steer Mayo where to go. Floyd knew he had to kowtow to Guillory to get (Mayo) to USC. Floyd knew he had to butter up Guillory."

David Murphy, another attorney for Johnson, said the NCAA became aware of the Floyd allegation last week and contacted Johnson on Friday.

"They knew about it before we told him," Murphy said.

Murphy added Johnson originally told federal investigators about the incident last May but did not tell the NCAA during a meeting last June.

And this from yahoo sports about the list of 17 people who have talked to the NCAA:

These individuals are believed to represent only a small fraction of the interviews that have taken place during the course of the probe.

Tip of the iceberg?

Is this before or after the much wrote about magical meeting

where Guillory showed up “out of the blue” and asked if he would like Payo to play for his team?

The key here I think is Demartino

Per Yahoo he has email documentation of communication with Trojan officials. If those do exist yikes.

Also as SecondChoice pointed out above … the list of 17 individuals are only part of the equation. Apparently NCAA talked to lot more folks. I didn’t think about that angle until reading this. Can’t imagine what else NCAA is sitting on right now.

In response to your question:

Only if by Tip of the Iceberg, you are referring to the glacial speed with which the NCAA acts. The recent news is very encouraging, but as I have said in the past, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
