Floyd takes responsibility for Mayo's tickets


Coach says he cleared star freshman's receiving of freebies from Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony. Trojans pick up transfer from Connecticut

USC Coach Tim Floyd said Wednesday that he told star freshman O.J. Mayo that he could accept free Lakers tickets and that if anybody should be punished for potential NCAA violations, it should be the coach.

"My feeling is that if there's a mistake made, it was made by me," Floyd said. "If they want to suspend me for a game, suspend me for a game, but not the kid. He did the right thing."
