The first link is the actual story. The 2nd link is supposed to be the actual table discussion where the reporter lobbies that she wants to do a story on Mayo and states why.

I find it hilarious because it sure seems staged as hell, if it's not how do Jeremy Schaap and others who work for ESPN not know a thing about Mayo's past? Given the amount of coverage ESPN is giving USC and mayo how can they not know about his recruitment, about his troubles in highschool etc?> The answer is they do know, they're just acting like they don't so the other woman can tell the story.

Funniest part is near the end of the 2nd link the alleged discussion. Theyr'e discussing the setup for amateur ball here vs Europe and how kids like Mayo get no money and you can hear Schaap clear as day say "well in recent years kids at USC WERE getting paid." he's talking about Reggie Bush of course but it's pretty funny and I would assume he said that on purpose.
