He got “caught” doing something that no one is punishing him for….so what exactly are we talking about here.
All of you just don’t want to admit how bad LSU as an institution fricked up by firing Wade.

But let’s say he donated the money to Gordon McKernan…..Gordon could get it done right. Which is essentially Wade paying players out of his pocket right?

I like Will Wade and wished he was still the coach but he also was an a hole in the athletic department and not many people liked him.
Now we are getting somewhere….Wade actually got fired because he wasn’t a “yes” man, wasn’t liked, and wasn’t Woodward’s guy.
So now you tell me is that a good reason to fire LSU’s best basketball coach in probably 2 decades to hire what we have now?

It absolutely is semantics. At the root of Wade’s “issue” was the fact that players were getting paid. Are players not getting paid legally today to play collegiate basketball? The “who” of the paying doesn’t fricking matter because no matter who we’re told the “who” is we have know way of knowing where the money originated. That is fact. The fact that you are telling me other coaches aren’t paying players, even before NIL, shows me how naive you are. On the same FBI tapes that implicated Wade (on allegations that he won’t be punished for criminally or by the NCAA BTW) many other coaches were implicated. shite Pitino has been paying players financially and with other forms of payment for years. He’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Dude…I loved Will Wade. I would love to have him back….but you’re objectively wrong on this. It’s not semantics. Coaches cannot legally pay players. NIL deals can pay players. It matters where the money comes from. He’s on wiretap basically admitting to major NCAA violations and he left a paper trail. This is what separates him from other coaches. Of course they’re paying players. They’re just not making such an easy case against themselves.
Just because you don’t agree with the rules, doesn’t mean you can just ‘very blatantly’ ignore them. And the “who” does matter when a paper and audio trail is left and the governing body of the NCAA deems that it matters.
If Orgeron was heard on wiretap and there was a paper trail showing that he paid Burrow to come here….LSU would have to vacate a national title and Burrow would forfeit the Heisman trophy. That’s how much it matters….whether we like it or not.

The truth is semantics to you? What he did was not legal then or now. The fact that others get away with it doesn't change that. The fact that he has other means now to legally do it (possibly) doesn't mean he would have used that or that it was legal then.

This isn’t semantics and honestly it’s crazy you think other coaches are paying players.

More semantics…..LSU’s official socials and official website blew up with the news on LSU’s collective….almost as if they set it up.

No the only thing that separates him from other coaches on the wiretap is that he got fired they didn’t.
None including Wade will be punished by the NCAA or charged criminally.

HE PAID PLAYERS FROM HIS OWN PERSONAL ACCOUNT. THAT WAS NOT LEGAL WHEN HE DID IT AND IS NOT LEGAL TODAY.
HE PAID HUSH MONEY TO A PLAYER'S GIRLFRIEND. THAT WAS NOT LEGAL WHEN HE DID IT AND IS NOT LEGAL TODAY.
Is that simple enough for you, idiot?

You are not serious
Players under NIL get paid for their name and likeness
Coaches can’t pay players, players family members
There is a difference
Will Wade recruited well, most likely illegally and was not very smart or blatantly oblivious to the rules
Was fired, time to move on
Like cryimg for a year after your girlfriend caught you with a stripper and broke up with you, move on

Wade has been punished, no income is pretty punishing
LSU’s basketball program has tanked and LSU has been punished
All created by a reckless coach
Again I will say, I liked what Will Wade started but also realize how he ended it

I hope to God none of you are reproducing. It is hilarious that you would teach your children if others are cheating you need to also. And I was a Wade supporter so you can stop with all of the Will Wade haters BS. Would love it if he was still here but he's not. But for the morons who hate MM because they don't think he can get dirty enough to win says all that is wrong with sports and people in general. I would rather lose than cheat and win. Period. Down vote all you want. And I will also give any coach 3 years to prove he can do the job. If not then you replace him. Most of this is just childish anger over Wade being fired. I was just as angry but I am also an adult and have moved on. You need to also.

Yes, three things.
1. What Wade did is still not "legal".
2. The legality at the time of the act is all that matters. A crime does not go away just because it is later legalized.
3. This isn't just about legalities; it's about NCAA rules. Technically, Wade did break laws (laws that are still in place) by evading taxation. But he was suspended for violating NCAA rules, not for breaking laws.

It has not been proven that Wade did anything. Lets stop pretending the coaches have not paid players via proxies for decades. What am I missing? Geeze you people buy the NCAA bs hook line and sinker. If they had something real bad on Wade, it would not just be sitting open for years and they would not be prodding their allies in the press to write hit pieces on him. They wanted a fall guy for that mess. They wanted to say it was not all these coaches, look at this young guy cheating. Coach K is just having to keep up with the likes of cheaters like Wade, blah blah blah. Wade was the person but he chose not to participate. Every action after that taken by the NCAA strengthens the case that they have nothing more on Wade than some words.

No but that’s what happened and it wasn’t just Woodward that didn’t like Wade. He was not well like throughout the athletic department.

The NCAA needs ZERO proof that Wade did anything wrong to threaten and sanction LSU.
