Did O.J. Mayo Violate NCAA Rules?

Carmelo Anthony gave O.J. Mayo some tickets to go to Monday's Lakers-Nuggets game. It seems innocent enough right? The tickets (priced at $230 each) may get O.J. in trouble with NCAA authorities. NCAA rules prohibit free admission to professional sports organizations unless tickets are allowed to the entire student body. The NCAA has to determine if Anthony gave the tickets to O.J. as a friend or as an agent of the Nuggets. This action could lead to a suspension or could force Mayo to donate the value of the tickets to charity. This rule makes sense, but not for this situation. Who hasn't received free tickets? Not everyone has received free tickets from a professional athlete or organization, but several people know someone who works for or plays for a professional team. I would hate to see Mayo punished for something some simple. Hopefully it will be resolved without punishment. Whats wrong with a college athlete having a little fun?
