Also, I know a couple guys on the mens Tennis team. Both guys are friends with a lot of the girls on the tennis team. One of the guys told me it was "extremely sudden and shocking" to a lot of athletes who knew many of the girls tennis athletes. A lot of them had scheduled classes for this coming semester and already was preparing for next season. Now we are seeing everyone jump ship. Not one of them had ever mentioned leaving LSU, it was all very sudden with no explanations.


One of them texted Weissmann asking why she had left LSU, she said something along the lines of her not able to answer that at the moment.

You can't deny that something major with the actions of the players alone.

I heard some of these rumors back then but really just assumed they were typical rumors but this shite really does look very bad now, and I am very convinced most of this shite did go down.


Curious what will happen to Alleva and a few people in the athletic department who knew about this but never followed up or did anything.

She has relatives in Louisiana so her going to LSU was not a surprise. As far as not speaking right now, who would during an active investigation.

The funniest/saddest part about is even after all this, we still didn't get past the second round of the NCAA tournament

Other women's tennis coaches around the nation were honestly shocked at how LSU has under performed with all of the talent they've had the last few seasons

Would not surprise me to see the Sell's roll over and take down a few of the people in the athletic department, this stuff really goes beyond the Sell's now from everything that I know.

From what I am aware of, one of the coaches told an assistant in the athletic department of the violations or the shite they were doing. They were told to stop but never did. Later it was relayed to Alleva and two other members in the athletic department. There was a meeting that did not include the Sell's but never were they specifically addressed by Alleva. I don't know what occurred in that specific meeting but obviously nothing was done.

This entire investigation is the result of multiple national power house schools in Tennis getting suspicious of LSU's recent rise on the recruiting travel on a national level, we were literally snagging anyone we wanted all of a sudden. Multiple schools reported us to the NCAA. The NCAA contacted multiple girls that had been recruited by LSU and it all has been going downhill from there. LSU then tried to report violations but it was wayyyyyyyyy too late. Now the NCAA is in Baton Rouge and everyone is jumping ship and getting the hell out.

Alleva is sipping on wine in Italy not giving a shite and trying to avoid this it seems.

Will be interesting to see how this ends up but right now its not looking good
