re: If Smart is cleared then what is the rational behind keeping Wade suspended?

Saying they want to fire Wade is just silly. They have a lack of intestinal and testicular fortitude, that's the problem, like a group of retarded eunuchs. The guys you knew in grade school who would snitch over the slightest little thing, they grew up to lead LSU. They went straight to the NCAA to show how compliant they are and how they are willing to sacrifice one of their own to make sure that they don't get into trouble themselves.

This isn't even debatable, that has been their track record and everyone knows it. And how has that worked out? Has the NCAA or SEC shown any leniency toward LSU? We still somehow seem to come out on the short end when these types of things arise.

Protect your own.
