How much did USC & the NCAA receive from him playing in college and being in school. Also, if Mayo went directly into the NBA from high school, USC and NCAA probably would still made the same amount of revenue from games and the tournament. People are still going to watch college bball regardless if 5 to 10 players get drafted out of high school. I vote for changing the rule and letting players choose their own path – go to college or go to work. this is America, isn’t it? Why all of these rules?
