re: Crickets from the LSU leadership on the Wade issue...

Hell of an offer (...) especially for a kid who is going to be a two- or three-year kid,” Wade said, an apparent reference to the fact that Smart — although a highly regarded prospect — was expected at the time to need at least two years in college before jumping into the NBA draft.
Wade joked to Dawkins in a separate phone call that the player would be compensated more than the “rookie minimum,” to ESPN, which said it independently confirmed the contents of the wiretapped phone call after Yahoo! Sports first reported its contents Thursday.

It doesn't look good. Hopefully there is nothing else. He's fine as of now. Just hope there is no real evidence of anything to prove Wade is guilty of major NCAA violations.

While it seems that “money” would be the offer they were speaking of, how does anyone know it wasn’t something else like playing time, or a number of other things??

.....AGREE.....where in his statement is the word “MONEY” being mentioned...sure we all think it’s MONEY but it could have been playing time, certain locker, Hell, even a jersey number...it could mean a lot of things...people just assume it’s money but it was never said or written in any statement...you shouldn’t just hang someone without the evidence....
