Are we giving WW a pass in all this and only blaming the Admin?

Seems like if WW didn’t make those calls, we would have avoided all this.
Let’s say it’s a huge misunderstanding. And WW is innocent in all this. When do we question WW judgement in talking on a phone about all this?
When NCAA basketball is under the microscope for illegal benefits and today’s technology records everything, why would our leader speak on the phone about such sensitive subjects?
Do y’all feel WW is innocent and he did Nothing wrong?

Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law

He’s guilty. There’s no explanation for the tapes besides being guilty. The Homer’s here will always say “we don’t know for sure!!!”
But there’s obvious proof.

How does ANY college program get 4/5 star recruits ? 99 out of 100, it’s with $$$$$.
Wake up.
Wake up.

Holy frick! It’s like you can’t read

I blame them for folding so fast. Literally hours after the article they suspended him, while dozens of other teams involved wait.
Just wait and see what happens. Saying offer isn’t enough to prove guilt.

But how can you condone speaking on the phone about these topics? That’s just dumb.
It’s not everyday the FBI is tapping conversations.

Joe you can’t handle the truth!
Joe you don't want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about parties; you want him on that call, you need him on that call!

I think it’s fair to say he is partially to blame for our situation because of his carelessness.
However, I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because the value he provides to the program far outweighs any negative effects of those tapes.
Our administration on the other hand has shown their incompetence for years now and deserves zero benefit of the doubt. They have shown repeatedly that they prioritize money far more than fan satisfaction. And they have undoubtedly made this situation much worse than it needed to be.
Ultimately that is why we are reacting with such vitriol towards the administration and not Wade. This is the culmination of something that’s been brewing for a long time.

I believe he's guilty, but I don't give a shite. I like winning. Nobody likes watching a morally upstanding basketball team that's shitty.

I reserve judgment like any rational person until facts are known, not alleged snippets of a wire tap posted on a shitty news site.

Wade does not get a pass. The admin gets hammered because Pearl, Sean Miller and the Kansas assistant are all still coaching. Either fire the guy or let him coach.

Maybe the WW matter is tied to the OLOL matter and reflects a lack of institutional control. Am certainly assuming a lot but the LSU reaction seems a bit over the top.

Fanbase is being very childish. I love Wade and even if he did stuff and it comes out I hope there is a way we can keep him. Alleva is a first rate self serving a-hole. Our admin has completely shite the bed. But even after all that, I am not willing to pretend Wade is the good guy in all this. Lets see what happens, he is going to play it smart so there is a chance it all blows over without anything else coming out.

Seems to me you don’t know how this works. Wade isn’t under investigation by the NCAA. Our dumbass administration panicked and caved when they didn’t need to.
Aleeva and FKing need to be gone for pure incompetence . I hope that Wade will still want to come back if Aleeva and King are fired

All the people (especially LSU's own fans) who are riding on the backs of the Administration and the NCAA are uneducated on this topic.
It's simply astounding that LSU's own Admin has brought most of this unwanted attention on the program and has handled this entire situation tactfully and extremely unprofessionally. They are the epitome of a "shite show" and their embarrassing PR and unorthodox treatment of their own head coach has been painful to watch.
Read this before backing the NCAA and LSU's Administration while condemning Will Wade. This is not saying Wade is guilty of any wrongdoing but simply shines a light on who's actually the ones "getting cheated" and whose responsible for that happening.
The NCAA is a NON PROFIT organization that took in $1.06 Billion in revenue in its 2016-17 fiscal year. Over 82% of that revenue was generated by the Division 1 Men's Basketball Tournament. The NCAA severely caps the benefits that collegiate athletes can receive from their schools. These caps for men's basketball and football players benefit the athletes' schools (through rent-seeking) at the expense of athletes. Rent-Seeking (for those who don't know) is "Seeking to increase one's share of existing wealth without creating new wealth"
It's the NCAA and schools who have dirt on their hands and make millions off these amateur athletes, as they like to call them. The cash cow that exists at these schools are funded on the backs of talented athletes who are taken advantage of by the NCAA and their respective schools.
The last thing the NCAA really wanted was for LSU's ignorant arse administration to shine this huge bright light on their own head coach and school, during its most profitable month of the year
