between a rock and a hard place.

LSU and the NCAA will never get any additional tapes or transcripts from the FBI if Dawkins pleads out (Or even if he doesn't). Too many people want this case to go away and go away quickly. So LSU and the NCAA will be left with a read aloud transcript and no additional information outside of an Alleva claim that LSU did an exhaustive investigation and found that the player in question did not get any impermissible benefit.

With no additional evidence we are left with a transcript that can be explained away a lot easier than the folks who felch for Joe Alleva on this site pretend.

What if an offer tilted toward the family meant that his mother was most concerned with Smart getting a full education and Wade promised the best academic support that LSU could provide. You may theorize that he did not mean that but as Alleva claimed that LSU did an exhaustive investigation and found that the player in question did not get any impermissible benefit and there will be no more evidence coming from the FBI or Dawkin's defense counsel you cannot prove it.

What if a better offer for Smart meant how Smart would be used on the court and how Wade could alter his gameplan to better highlight Smart to advertise his services for the NBA? You may theorize that he did not mean that but as Alleva claimed that LSU did an exhaustive investigation and found that the player in question did not get any impermissible benefit and there will be no more evidence coming from the FBI or Dawkin's defense counsel you cannot prove it.

What if the reference toward rookie minimum meant highlighting Smart's skills so that his first NBA contract would not be at the rookie minimum as he was simply a two or three year guy and not a one and done? You may theorize that he did not mean that but as Alleva claimed that LSU did an exhaustive investigation and found that the player in question did not get any impermissible benefit and there will be no more evidence coming from the FBI or Dawkin's defense counsel you cannot prove it.

The deal was not with Dawkins as well and the true middleman is not likely to want to admit he violated the law so there will no evidence to back up what may or may not be the truth.

What Alleva will be left with if Dawkins pleas out is to pay Wade a huge severance or keep him and be the weakest AD in the NCAA after being shown up by his BB coach. I do not think either benefits LSU athletics in the long run and they will have to show Alleva the door.

What if the FBI hands over everything to the NCAA?
What if the FBI hands over nothing and judicial watch files FOIA?
What if LSU fires Wade for failing to attend meetings with his bosses?
What if bama offers Wade a deal he can't refuse?
what if UCLA offers Wade a deal he can't refuse?

No way on this planet Alleva is ever between a rock and a hard place. He has enough cover from what's already public. There's also the fact that he's just a puppet and it's really Alexander, compliance dept, and legal making all the decisions.

Alleva has done a lifetime's worth of damage to LSU.

Why he is being allowed to burn down the athletic department during the remainder of his lame duck tenure speaks to the ineptitude of FKA and the disdain for LSU held by JBE and JW.

It’s just as likely that this is the truth as it is the illegal version. That’s why I just don’t get the flame toward Wade and LSU from the national media. The only explanation is that they wanted attention averted away from the actual scandal that is the entire NCAA. You can see that when the powerful are attacked they minimize you at any cost. It’s a sickening ordeal. We may never likely know the full extent of the cheating because these power players don’t want it to and can’t have it come out.

Alleva needs to go but I’m telling you the real problem is F King.

You heard the tape and investigated the tape and there were no impermissible benefits.
They have cleared the player so there was no offense.
If there was no offense then how do you suspend a coach for no offense no matter what is on the tape.

Your take makes no sense. Do you really believe Alleva wants to damage the program he oversees? Do you think he wants to get rid of his best hire? How does any of this make sense to you?
