The allegations were a derivative from the Smart investigation which was cleared. What the NCAA did was sanction Wade for “a lack of cooperative attitude” and “a failure to report a Potential violation” where assistant coach Armstrong allegedly “offered” to pay Smarts grandmother but didn’t and she says he never attempted to do that. They didn’t “catch” him doing anything so they hit him with some bullshite and a very overblown punishment. Wade’s suing and we’ll see what turns up but it’s obvious you have no idea what actually took place.

So they cleared him of the allegations regarding Javonte Smart. OK. That doesn’t mean he was cleared of everything.

He got handed a two-year show cause for a reason. Among many other allegations - He absolutely made illegal payments with his wife’s account, he was just lucky enough to get by the investigation.

was not cited for the most notorious charge against him: that he lured recruits with illicit payments.

Another formal complaint dismissed for insufficient evidence was that Wade directed payments from a bank account in his wife’s name to a friend of a recruit’s family, who in exchange would direct the prospect to L.S.U. But Wade successfully argued that because he was not an authorized user of the account that was jointly held by his wife and his mother, he could not compel them to turn the account records over to N.C.A.A. investigators.
