You are spot on.
Best case scenario is that WW is working undercover with the FBI to weed out bad handlers etc. IF he was, then part of it would be NO ONE knowing, including LSU. Therefore, he would understand LSUs actions. And, LSU and Alleva would look like pillars of excellence for doing the right thing until compliance dept was satified.
IMO, something like this is the only thing that exonerates WW to thebpoint where he stays at LSU.
And to those who say 'duke this' or "but bill self"...etc. maybe, just maybe thise institutions will take a major blow from the NCAA for not acting immediately and getting out in front if this, by taking identical actions as LSU has.
But the fact remains, with the transcripts of thise tapes, LSU had very little choice once WW decided he couldnt talk.

People need to watch this documentary on Netflix: At All Costs. It will help put college basketball recruiting into perspective.
It's funny how these AAU players compare college "offers". One of the biggest selling points is early playing time. It is a big deal.
The biggest take-away is the high school basketball season doesn't matter anymore. College coaches visit these AAU tournaments because they do not coincide with the College Basketball season. Spring and early summer become the most important time of the year for these basketball college prospects. Adidas and Nike have also made it very lucrative at least for the AAU coaches. Who knows how much the talented kids are getting paid. The target audience for Nike and Adidas are 25 year and younger via social media. AAU has become a very powerful avenue to sell their apparel to this demographic.
