re: Is Alleva on his way to retirement?

Not true.

There are plans in the works to buy the land the waste treatment facility sits on River Rd next to the water campus, 30+acres with plans to build a new PMAC. They are hoping to build it in partnership with the city of Baton Rouge kind of like how The Shaw Center wa built. Their idea is to be able to also host concerts & whatnot like the Cajun Dome does.

Joe is well aware that bigger schools will come calling for Wade once he starts winning & revitalizes the basketball program.

ETA: This all came straight out of Joe’s mouth back in August. I eavesdropped on a conversation between him & someone else during a lunch meeting.
