But I think his attorney gave him some bad advise in regards to communicating with lsu.

It was good advice, and here’s why.

LSU could have fired Miles with cause (sexual harassment + covering up rape) in 2013 but didn’t because FKA had political aspirations that could have been sabotaged by such a scandal. In 2016, LSU fired Miles for football reasons and paid a buyout. Later, at the same time that Orgeron was doing his own rape cover-upping and while a giant lawsuit was in the works, Wade (who doesn’t harass women and cover up rape) gets the NCAA’s attention for possible/obvious basketball violations.

By not cooperating with the investigation (and getting suspended), he dared LSU to fire him with cause, which would have given him grounds for a juicy lawsuit at the expense of an employer who paid two rape-cover-upping football coaches’ buyouts but not the buyout of him, a (dirty) basketball coach who never hurts people.

LSU, in transition with a new AD and president, called his bluff and reinstated him under the agreement that if there were any level 1’s or 2’s, he’s gone. In came the letter, and out went Wade.
