re: If Wade is canned how can you continue to support the athletic program?

but if it is eventually shown that Will Wade cheated and gets LSU slammed with NCAA penalties, will you still support him? Will you?

If it comes out that he 100% cheated and was bold enough to be so careless about it, hell no I wouldn’t support him. Anyone that would is an idiot.

"We don't know absolutely know what is going to happen, but if it is eventually shown that Will Wade cheated and gets LSU slammed with NCAA penalties, will you still support him? Will you?"

If the entire college basketball recruiting scene is a dirty game of hidden bids for top players, which appears to be the case, why should LSU be made an example of? This is my problem for holding Wade accountable for the sins of everyone else as well. I want a level playing field however it is constructed. The word "cheated" is being misused here if it is being applied to a common practice that someone must follow to remain competitive. It's very much like having to drive ten miles over the speed limit if that's what all the others are doing just for the sake of safety. Obeying that speed limit can get you in trouble if it means your are causing a clog on the highway. You are not necessarily speeding but doing what is best for your situation.

If Wade is simply doing what the vast majority of coaches are doing then according to the NCAA, if they don't punish EVERYONE, he isn't "cheating". This story is far bigger than Will Wade and LSU and I don't think the NCAA wants to go anywhere close to it as it will destroy the money machine. The LSU administration has set themselves up to be made an example of by their own stupidity in how they have reacted to all of this. They did this, not Will Wade.
