WW packed the PMAC. He got us to the tourney.
He also got caught on an FBI wire tap.... and paying players from his own account. At some point, you get off the train before the wreck happens.

You guys should really read the IARP findings instead of just repeating Rant fan fiction.

That's not what happened. I'm not in the camp of Woody shouldn't have fired Wade, I kind of felt like he had no real choice, but let's not spread things around that aren't true.
Also, in reading a little this morning, what I thought happened was something different as well.
From this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/22/sports/ncaabasketball/will-wade-lsu-coach.html
quote:
Another formal complaint dismissed for insufficient evidence was that Wade directed payments from a bank account in his wife’s name to a friend of a recruit’s family, who in exchange would direct the prospect to L.S.U. But Wade successfully argued that because he was not an authorized user of the account that was jointly held by his wife and his mother, he could not compel them to turn the account records over to N.C.A.A. investigators.
Lack of evidence because he could not compel his wife and mother to turn over account records

Also, this was the event that I thought ended up being the payment from the wife's account but no mention of that in this article. But I do think that event went a long way toward the decision to fire Wade, but that is just an uninformed opinion on my part.
quote:
The most serious breach was Wade not informing university officials of an alleged extortion attempt in which a onetime player’s former fiancée threatened to go to the N.C.A.A. with a list of recruiting violations that Wade had committed.
