wade got caught: fact

Yeah, he fricked up getting caught. again, Who gives a shite? There are plenty of coaches and professional players that get caught doing stuff and don't get fired b/c they are too good for the organization to let go. hell this happens in the real world all the time, top salesman gets caught doing somethign stupid yet doens't get fired.

wade didn't cooperate with his employer in an ongoing investigation on if the two items listed above were a big deal or not: fact

The fanbase and players loved him so much he got an AD fired. The majority had Wade's back, not the LSU admin, and the LSU Admin didn't seem to have Wade's back.

quote:

---

wade agreed to amend his contract to allow if lsu was served with level 1 or 2 violations he could be fired w cause: fact

And LSU had the choice to not fire him if they didn't want to.

wade received a 2 year show cause and was also suspended his first 10 games at mcneese: fact

---

So what. We didn't make it last year, and won't this year either. So we basically self imposed it upon ourselves.

do they just hand out suspensions and show causes for fun?

You do realize that McNeese self imposed most of that to appease the stupid arse NCAA?

LSU should have told the NCAA to frick off, which is exactly what Kansas did.

quote:

---

Kansas initially was charged by the NCAA with five Level I violations, which are considered the most severe, including a charge of lack of institutional control and an allegation that Self had failed to keep the program in compliance.

Auburn received four years of probation through a traditional NCAA infractions process for a similar case, but Kansas joined others in appealing through the IARP, which was among the proposals made by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in 2018 to reform the sport. The panel was designed to work outside the purview of the NCAA and handle complex case.

The panel also has been criticized for inconsistent penalties. Arizona, LSU, Louisville and North Carolina State were given minor penalties and no postseason ban, while Oklahoma State was barred from postseason play for relatively minor violations.

Bill Self is still at Kansas
Sean Miller was fired from Arizona more so b/c his teams had underperformed 3 years in a row. If he's winning at a high rate, they don't fire him. They had finished first in the PAC 5 of his first 9 years, and the other 4 were a 2nd, 3rd and two 4ths. His last 3 years were 9th, 5th and 5th.
He was rehired by Xavier with no restrictions or punshiments whatsoever, and he got them to the sweet 16 last year in his first year back.
Louisville fired Chris Mack b/c he sucked.
Kevin Keats is still at NC State.
