Wade has more leverage/power than this board or the media realize.

All those coaches in the "brotherhood" who supposedly hate him are not sleeping well these days and probably won't for some time.

If Wade decides to sing, it's all over for all the bluebloods. Not just LSU. Perhaps even the NCAA wouldn't survive it if enough is exposed.

If Wade goes down, they all go down.

This is the best perspective I've read so far. The "sleazy" middlemen allegedly shopping recruits have no market power if there aren't multiple coaches/programs to call on.

If they decide to take down LSU, the NCAA/ESPN/March Madness basketball cash cow would crumble when all of the dust settles on the estimated 50+ coaches and programs involved.

The greed built into the system wouldn't have it.

What bothers me the most is LSU/Alleva/King have put us out there as willing to fall on the sword first.

Incredibly misguided and asinine!
