	If OJ was bought by this agency, was Carmelo? Melo is represented by the same agency, and there are photos of Melo with Calvin Andrews. Now, that doesnt mean Melo took money or gifts, but it makes you wonder.

	Very interesting question. Very interesting. And this is such a better article than Doyel's, but that's not going to surprise anyone who reads these pages regularly. I think that Parrish has it almost entirely right...if these things were happening, then I'm sure Floyd was not asking questions, and nor were his assistant coaches. Nor are coaches around the country...

	I would bet money that Carmelo Anthony took gifts while he was still at Syracuse... the gifts probably just traveled through a different middleman. The thing is though, with the top recruits, the majority of them probably received gifts, etc. while still in school, they just didn't have a dispute that resulted in someone telling the media about it.

	How can the NCAA rule a kid who played on an international team with so called professionals (Fabian Boeke at WSU) even though they themselves did not receive a dime in subsidies be ruled ineligible for 1 year while kids from the US that knowlingly are surrounding themselves with shady characters be allowed to play without penalty? This makes absolutely no sense.

	Just pay the athletes already!!!! Seriously, the NCAA are the biggest crooks out there.. Who cares, he's gone PRO what can USC and the NCAA do to him? Nothing.. WTF does he care??? lol Miles Brand and all these filthy rich NCAA officials that make a ton of money off these kids are the real cause of the problem... You see all this money changing hands because of you and your teammates blood, sweat and tears but you can't have any of it? His agents could have paid for his tuition so does that mean USC owes him money for the one year of college?? lol I'm sure USC made more than enough money of his jersey, tickets and t shirt sales... Thanks Truss
