Matt Cashore-USA TODAY Sports
College Basketball commentator Dick Vitale was very hypocritical and vocal about the Will Wade situation during an interview with Jordy Cullota and T-Bob Hebert on "Off-The-Bench" on 104.5 Baton Rouge radio Monday morning.

Vitale came out hot and made a long statement before taking his first question, mainly talking about himself and his career, awards, and reputation.

When asked about other schools and coaches who have found themselves in the same situation, Vitale never wanted to play ball and mainly offered up excuses.

You can listen to the interview here.

He doesn't answer any of the questions. He talks over Jordy and T-Bob like he's the only one who should be talking....He's a straight up prick.

Still wondering how he has listened to this tape that only the FBI and the judge in the Dawkins case has heard.

What if a "strong-ass offer" is a full ride and guaranteed x amount of playing time? In the world of college athletics and limited scholarships, that is what I would consider a strong-ass offer. Vitale is just an old senile man who is blind... and apparently def as well.

I believe in the presumption of innocence until PROVEN guilty. Vitale can eat a dick.

that standard only applies in a courtroom. Employers have to move much quicker and can't wait years for legal proceedings to conclude.

LOL at believing Pitino's telling him the truth. They may be friends, but Pitino knows that Dickie V would sell him out in a heartbeat to scoop the story of Pitino's confession of guilt.

Plain and simple what a disgrace to college basketball this guy is and forever will be in my eyes from here on. I really liked this dude at one time. What a sad sad guy he’s turned out to be.

Guys, will Wade is caught on tape. Let’s assume you are right and others are cheating too. At least they are not dumb enough to get caught on tape. The best thing to do for LSU is to own up to this mess and fix it. Don’t even necessarily think you fire wade.

Caught on tape saying what though? WW never mentions money but DV says he’s guilty yet will sit there and argue facts about text messages that Bill Self was caught sending about $ amounts in the Zion recruitment who the Duke Devils ended up landing and still has the nerve to say text message isn’t proof or definitive enough. Now that’s a disgrace and inexcusable imo!!! He deserves every bit of heat that comes his way and I’m telling y’all this isn’t over. While he and the national sports media have demonized and singled out LSU while dragging our university and program through the mud, in the end LSU will be the least implicated program, if at all. What’s actually most likely is that WW had these conversations but never actually followed through with any money exchange with this guy who is being investigated and is implicated as the middle man. It’s just as likely that WW was working with the FBI in all this. You can’t implicate guilt from the tapes I’ve heard and that’s a fact. You also have to take into account that LSU and the NCAA cleared Smart to play in these games while others have been removed from playing time, on teams which didn’t suspend their HC and you don’t hear a peep out of this cock sucker about those teams/programs/HC’s. Wade is the fall man for this and LSU is being drug through the mud though, that much is crystal clear. Frick all these clowns in the sports media who are perpetuating this bias towards LSU. These people think we’re dumb, well Dickie V we didn’t all go to Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, Dartmouth, Penn, Brown or Cornell but we aren’t all idiots like y’all love to portray to everyone either. We actually do have some highly intelligent people here in Louisiana and can damn sure smell a rat. We hear you squealing Dick.

BayouBengal99 If LSU is the least implicated it's because the administration acted quickly.

The problem is that others are caught on tape. Zion Williamson's Father is on tape asking for a house from Kansas. Of course he went to Duke so no problem there. What a joke.

Guess Dick missed reading the old fable about ' Br'er Wolf and the Tar-Baby'. His stock is going down by the day.
