They knew this the whole time. Why now? Wait another few weeks and let the players have their coach for the NCAA.

Well football is involved in this and administration to. So Verge Ausbury and Frank Wilson are both involved in litigation that will have a profound affect on LSU sports for years.

I guess you can cheat and not get fired. But when you cheat AND suck, you gone. I’m as big an lsu fan as anyone and I couldn’t watch our Bball team this year. No offensive game plan/coaching whatsoever. Maddening

I think we all pretty much knew that some shady stuff was going on under the table, but we were ok with it because we know other programs do it, too. But that still doesn’t make it right.

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

I liked Coach Wade enough but he was not going to win us a championship -- he was going to get us close a number of times but that's it -- and I would have been pretty happy with that compared to the past. But man is he a moron. I seriously doubt he ever coaches in Div I again.

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.
