Yahoo Sports is reporting that Louis Johnson, associate of former USC Trojan O.J. Mayo, has told both NCAA investigators and federal authorities – including the FBI, IRS and U.S. Attorney’s Office – that Floyd gave at least $1,000 in cash to Rodney Guillory, a man who allegedly lavished Mayo with improper benefits while the guard starred for the Trojans. 
In May of 2008 Johnson told ESPN’s “Outside The Lines”
that Mayo received approximately $30,000 in extra benefits from Guillory before he came to USC and while playing for the Trojans.
Sources say the NCAA will soon make a decision on the three year investigation once “loose ends” are tied up.
