It’s the selective enforcement by the NCAA that is frustrating.

Fire the guy who may have paid a player, keep the executive who hushes sexual assault. Makes sense.

Wish we had an OG like Wade that won games, but they had cause anyway...but the fact remains: this current incarnation of LSU is an embarrassment.

This is what really baffles me. Verge has to have something big on the school if they are still keeping him around. At this point the school is in so much sh!t that they might as well just let him go and take whatever the NCAA gives them.

As woke as LSU thinks it is, they would laugh at this idea.
...but I'm not.

Given the nature of the violations, this move was likely about trying to minimize sanctions on both the football and basketball programs.

I don't know what Wade can say. I think a lot was just posturing by him. The allegations, including the tape, are damning.

Can Scott just move Kim Mulkey over the MBB program and promote someone to take over the WBB? Serious question

This fricking sucks. Man WTH he has done great things for LSU bringing us back to relevance and we don't stick by him.

He must have known this was coming.

You know Scott will be going big game hunting for the new coach as he did with FB and WBB so not worried at all. Will be a great hire and since they don’t owe WW a buyout they can afford anyone they want.

Yeah, Scott always does the right thing, Verge Ausberry says hello.

This has got to be because of the NOA. No reason to fire him before tournament.
