Yahoo! Sports is reporting that University of Southern California basketball coach Tim Floyd made a cash payment to a man that helped bring O.J. Mayo to the Trojans.

Unprovoked snitch Louis Johnson told NCAA investigators, the FBI, the IRS, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office that Tim Floyd directly gave OJ Mayo associate Rodney Guillory $1000. You probably remember Guillory as the guy Johnson put on blast the first time around.

The LA Times is taking the wait and see approach (Because they didn’t break the story) but they still say these allegations will be big trouble for Floyd.

If the NCAA finds truth in this and other allegations previously made by Johnson, USC could be hit with major sanctions, including forfeitures of victories, probation, a ban on postseason play, the loss of television appearances or scholarship and recruiting restrictions.

I hope it was worth it SC. Somewhere, University of Arizona officials are smiling. And thanking Jesus.
