re: Yahoo: FBI sent agents to BR to investigate Wade’s recruiting tactics after suspension

Dawkins and his people in connection with Addidas were found guilty of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud. As you know that’s federal and that’s why the FBI is involved. I don’t have any clue about the last 50 years I’m just telling you why it’s a federal case.

I’m asking about federal charges for Wade. I see no federal laws broken. As a potential witness against Dawkins? Yes.

They are not investigating Wade /Wade’s tactics. It’s all about the ancillary money folks and middle men. He is a pawn.

We only heard a small portion of two calls, the FBI recorded over 3000 phone calls in the course of their investigation into Dawkins. It is highly likely Wade was recorded in other calls, and nobody here knows what he may have said in those calls.

This is true. But then again, neither does the NCAA (from what I understand based on the reporting to-date). And from what I understand, if the current Dawkins case doesn’t go to trial the evidence is sealed correct? If so there’s a possibility that nobody finds out what else the FBI has. So it’s still circumstantial at this point.

Even if the NCAA DOES get the rest of the tapes, who knows how many other programs get wrapped up in the same scandal? It’s got to be better for LSU if damning evidence comes out when 20 other schools get busted than if it comes out now.

Which all goes back to my main point - I think the negative consequences of the LSU administration’s reaction are pretty clear. What did LSU gain by commenting publically and suspending Wade?

Forde had this info weeks ago. He keeps leaking it little by little to try and keep the story alive and clicks coming. He’s done this two weekends in a row to get people reporting on the NCAAT to talk about it.

He’s a low life and if he had his info a month ago could have released it then.

I'm calling the son of a bitch in the middle of the night tonight from multiple different numbers.

His bitch arse won't be sleeping tonight or any other night when he chooses to publish BS.

And yes, the spin he's putting on the actual info is total BS. frick him.

Not sure what I'm going to say yet but by the time 3AM rolls around I'll have something worthwhile.

So who isn’t dirty in college sports ? And you sir are going off a REPORT! What a dip shite!

This will all come full circle when you end up in jail

Because if he was paying players he committed fraud against the university by allowing the university to give scholarships to players he knew were ineligible.

How is that a Federal Crime?

Jesus, it’s an NCAA violation. Come on, wake up and stop being so gullible.

Big Time college sports is dirty af. But.... who cares? Does anyone get hurt? NO So.... a poor kid with great athletic ability (and his family) gets some financial benefits from a few filthy rich boosters to go play basketball at a really nice college, with great facilities. Poor kid gets free education, fabulous healthy meals, the finest training in his chosen craft, and aduration of fans. School fields good, exciting team that fans want to watch. Makes lots of money off ticket sales and tv contracts. Fans get to watch exciting, winning sports. What exactly is the problem

A lot of people care, and it hurts other areas of the university. The players are being given athletic scholarships under the premise that it will be the athlete's sole compensation for their contribution to the school. If the players are being paid under the table they are getting scholarship money under false pretenses, money that could be used in a thousand other places, better academic scholarships to keep the best and brightest students from goin gto Al, GA and TX. Either pay the players, and end the façade , or shut it all down and start over as true amateurs.
