Wade coached at VCU in Richmond from 2015 to 2017, leading the Rams to two NCAA Tournaments and one regular season Atlantic 10 championship.


Here is VCU’s full statement, as emailed to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune:
quote:


"We are aware of the March 7 Yahoo Sports report on former men’s basketball Coach Will Wade, now at LSU.

"We have conducted annual individual meetings with all men’s basketball student-athletes to review whether they have received any extra benefits during their recruitment or during their time at VCU. They must sign a document to confirm they understand what we were asking. Specific to our previous coach’s tenure, Athletic Compliance has reviewed all recruiting activity during his tenure to determine whether any inaccuracies or red flags existed. An independent review was also conducted. We found no red flags or causes for concern.

"Additionally, we have implemented several controls to assure compliance for our men’s basketball program and all of our sport programs. We also conduct mandatory bi-monthly rules education with the full men’s basketball staff to review NCAA legislation.

“Our commitment remains to winning at the highest level with the highest ethics and integrity.”

You need to squeeze in Coach O stretching in the OP.

Alleva has a knife in that left hand about to plunge it into Will's back.

What did you expect them to say? “Yeah, he cheated here too, come investigate us.”

I’m a diehard LSU fan and someone who currently resides in Richmond, VA. This statement is incredibly meaningless. Can you imagine them saying anything else???

I have a couple friends who are diehard Ram fans who have followed the program closely, even before Capel when they were pretty average. They all think he “cut corners” while he was here (paid guys). I also think it’s part of the reason people weren’t that upset when he left, which I found really shocking.
