As far as we know, there is no evidence of actual money or extra benefits being received by Smart or Reid. If you don't have evidence, please stop posting. This has been already been hashed and rehashed.

Perhaps Wade was just talking BS to a shady recruiting intermediary to maintain a relationship. There has been no proof of illegal benefits related to this conversation as far as anyone has shown!!

Personally, I feel that the NCAA, corporations (shoe companies, TV networks, etc.) college administrators,and coaches making billions of dollars off of these unpaid athletes is the biggest "crime." The reason that so much money is paid for the best recruits at many levels is based on their value to the system. This is not a secret. If one believes the best players are not being paid to play at colleges all over the country they are naive or lying to themselves. I would not be upset or ashamed if LSU is doing what other institutions are doing to compete.

When will you guys realize that the act of "making an offer" is also a level 1 violation? The offer does not have to be accepted, money exchanged, etc. for it to be a serious violation.

I started this thread to make everyone aware that Dickie V was not the ONLY person in the media predicting LSU would receive a notice of violations. I'm am simply responding to those who direct a question/post at me.

Irrelevant....the NCAA does not need proof (for the 1000th time).

And here we go again with another justification for unethical behavior (cheating).

And here we go again with, "it's OK to cheat because everyone is doing it."

And, here we go again with, "It's OK to cheat because that's the only way to win."
Please don't attempt to justify cheating just because you have a void where character and ethics are supposed to reside.
