Sports Illustrated is reporting that the FBI's investigation into LSU head coach Will Wade remains active and that federal agents were recently in Baton Rouge.
quote:

LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette told SI Thursday that the school is unaware of any recent FBI inquiries or presence in Baton Rouge. Attempts to reach Wade’s attorney, Steve Thompson, were unsuccessful. A call to an SDNY spokesman was not immediately returned Thursday.

An NCAA investigation of LSU and Wade also is concurrently active. The NCAA enforcement staff’s case against the Tigers has dovetailed to include football allegations, and the case has been diverted to the association’s Independent Accountability Resolution Process, which was created to handle complex cases. In August 2020, ESPN.com obtained a document from NCAA enforcement asserting that Wade "arranged for, offered and/or provided impermissible payments, including cash payments, to at least 11 men's basketball prospective student-athletes, their family members, individuals associated with the prospects and/or nonscholastic coaches in exchange for the prospects' enrollment at LSU."

Drug cartels. Terrorist cells. Organized crime. Ponzi schemes stealing people's life savings, serial fricking killers and the doucebag FBI wastes it's time and our money on this? Pathetic.

Exactly what I was thinking. No way you can convince me the LSU basketball program warrants FBI attention. Pat Forde, DickieV, and the rest of college basketball media can kiss my arse. I will be embracing the black hat from here on out! I hope we get really good and take on a moniker similar to the "Bad Boys of college b-ball"

Don't forget sending a dozen agents to inspect a garage oull-rope at a NASCAR site. Because as we all know, white supremacists are the biggest threat facing America.

They should investigate how these known terrorist threats keep being terrorists instead of college basketball rumors

So this is probably a priority for the FBI, but they have dropped the laptop investigation of Hunter Biden. Right?

Why would you give Forde’s BS article any attention? He does this crap every March. The investigation has not had any activity in 2 years, the chances it is still active are extremely low. Do not give Forde attention.

Naturally Sports Illustrated is the authority on investigations in the U.S. I'm sure this report is as accurate and factual as possible?

If only there was a laptop with documented payments from China for presidential access and a credible witness. Poor FBI just can’t much to do nowadays.

To say the FBI is useless shows how stupid you are. I guarantee you know 0.0001% or less of what they do.

This is FAKE NEWS with no corroboration. Cancel culture groupthink allowed to make up news with no repercussion.

The longer this plays out as an open investigation, the better chances WW will come out fine!
