The problem is two of those coaches have rings and multiple final 4 appearances under their belt. Wade overplayed his hand. He came to LSU thinking the brand would allow him to play the same game the big boys play. But he didn't consider the fact that LSU isn't a big boy in basketball. He knew we had the funds and the name but he didn't know we don't have the clout in his sport. It's actually a compliment to football and baseball. Think about this, OBJ handed players cash on national television and that was a big deal for a full week maybe. This has been a stain on the basketball team for years and will be for a few more and nobody actually saw Wade do anything. Most of our fans don't even know we lost scholarships in football. If the basketball team had the same level of respect as the football and baseball programs, this wouldn't be as big of a deal.

I agree to an extent. I just don't believe the theory that the basketball program has to be sacrificed for the football program to make the NCAA look like tough guys. Yes, sure the football program is the cash cow but the NCAA is willing to look the other way concerning the football program because it brings in so much money to the NCAA.

And you don't see this as a problem?

For me this does not excuse the hypocricy - if fact for me the magnifies it.
