180 days was what was being reported initially, but apparently it was only for 10 days, but that has not been confirmed at this point. Regardless, their are some issues off the court that Mayo needs to address.

eventhough, he's going to be a great player and some fans might consider him a lost for Matta .
I'm happy OSU/Matta know what to do with the unknown

When did ignorance become a point of view?

I'm not a lawyer; however, I don't think that playing high school ball since the 8th grade has any relevancy. Also, he would probably lose the lawsuit just like Clarett did. Either way by the time the lawsuit would be finally settled (after all the appeals), it would be over a year and he would then be eligible for the NBA.
If he wants to play pro ball after high school he should just go play in Europe a year. He could undoubtedly earn several million with the European contract, a shoe contract, trading card & autographed products deals, other endorsements, and appearance fees, etc. He would make millions, not have to worry about going to classes, and and get to play more basketball games with (probably) better competition.

the other side of the whole card is what lies ahead for oj. in reality the best thing for everyone is that someone really reach out and touch oj. kids with checkered pasts can mature into great young men. some may disagree, but even look at troy smith his st ed days, booster problems, off campus fights, in his early years him being infamous for closing down bars, or jamo and his days in mansfield. the truth is oj has a lot of potential on the hardwood, but he needs to step up his game in life if he ever wants his dreams. its so hard for kids to realize that and i honestly and truely hope where ever and what ever he ends up doing someone can drive that home to him.

Dispatch

Quote:
O . J . Mayo told Fox Sports Net that he will return to North College Hill for his final highschool basketball season along with close friends Bill Walker and Keenan Ellis. Although officials from North College Hill have been mum on the issue, Walker told The Cincinnati Enquirer that Mayo has been suspended 10 days instead of the 180 initially reported by WKRC-TV in Cincinnati for an altercation with a female student.
Mayo had visited USA Today national champion Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., the only team to beat North College Hill in 2006, but the school would not accept him, citing the fact that he was under suspension at his current school.
There had been whispers that Mayo might transfer to Manhattan (Kan.) High for his senior season, which would have been a sign that he really did plan to follow former University of Cincinnati coach Bob Huggins to Kansas State.

If the rule is One Year Removed from High School....AND 19 years of age....then couldnt OJ and Bill drop out, and be one year removed, and when the draft comes, they will be 19 as well.
