re: Don't see how Joe Alleva survives this....

And yet they run one of the most profitable athletic departments in the whole country.

...Kind of makes it look like they're doing their jobs.

You know who else is running a profitable athletic department?
Tennessee.

Yep, the program run by Phil Fulmer. And that's without a football team with a pulse for over a decade, and not making money on baseball, and the women's basketball team declining hard.
Because, you see, being in the SEC means you are going to make money hand over fist, even if you don't have a stout group of teams and a bean counter running the show.

Let Alleva go to somewhere like DePaul, if he's such a financial wizard. That's a school that needs to pinch pennies everywhere they can, because all they have is basketball and it's dead now. LSU needs someone who can spread the brand, not balance the checkbook. Not on athletics, at least.

I dont Think you can just ignore 3/3 Basketball hires end terribly, if this ends terribly.

Basically needs a huge Football season to stay afloat.

are you a relative of Alleva or something? You are defending him blindly like only one full of delusion could do

On the contrary, I am one of the few who is completely emotionally detached from the situation. All I'm saying is that he's done his job to this point, no real reason to fire him yet - AND - that I find it absurd that the ONLY person nobody wants to get rid of is the one who was caught cheating.

That just shows the level of emotion that has taken over the board and led to such irrational posts.

Personally, I would be fine if both Wade and Alleva stay and we get passed this with as little pain as possible. After all, LSU hasn't yet suffered any consequences.

But what do you mean by "sullying innocent folks and a successful program with catastrophic consequences"? What has Alleva done?

---

O. M. G. !

You don’t even know what wade was doing or not doing


He may have been doing nothing, something within the rules or something outside of the rules.

No one knows

Not really.

Not this badly. Especially if football doesn’t make some real noise in year 3 of his huge risk with O.

How the hell was Alleva hired in the first place after the Duke Lacrosse fiasco?

C'mon, Tigah, make a point and back it up

You are "detached".

The point has been made many times.
No need to repost at length.
When you are less "detached", perhaps read some of the 50-60 threads discussing the thing.

In short, Alleva has a history.
Duke Lacrosse was an administrative atrocity. Alleva jumped the gun immediately, just as he has here. He was horribly wrong to do so. He sullied Duke students and employees in the process. The ultimate result was millions of dollars in lawsuits paid out by the university (rumors hold the confidential settlement at $70million or so), waves of campus protests, destruction of a national championship athletic team its coach and players, and even a precipitous drop of Duke's USNews College Ranking due to a decline in peer evaluations.

A little event like that would be something most folks would learn from.

Yet Alleva continues to act first, think later, then spastically try to cover for his stupidity. We didn't get played by Jimbo. Right? We didn't get played by Herman. Right? Orgeron was the target of our search all along. Right? We didn't get completely owned by the UF AD during the hurricane bullshite. Right? It all went perfectly according to plan according to Joe. Right?

Alleva is an imbecile. In retracing his past catastrophic mistakes, he's made it clear he is a negligent imbecile.
He should have been fired this weekend. He should be fired now.
