re: Realistically when does LSU get closure on the will wade investigation?

The first of these NCAA IARP cases is the Memphis/James Wiseman/Penny Hardaway case. It wss announced in March 2020. There has been no resolution or even announced progress one year later.

If this can be used as a time template for the Wade case, I would be surprised if anything is resolved soon. The arbitration panel must finish it's investigation and make recommendations to the NCAA, I believe. Those could be for dismissal or for violations to be made. If violations made, I think LSU and Wade are given time to respond. The panel then makes decisions based on this process. If I am correct on this process, it appears that the case is unlikely to be resolved in 2021.

From what I can tell, there are 5-6 schools who have cases pending with the IARP. LSU being one. You are right, the Memphis case was first and has been sitting for a while. The IARP was established to investigate "complex" cases "independent" of the NCAA.

With us being a year into the process and still no decision about Memphis, it seems the earliest we would hear something on LSU would be mid-summer...if that.

Who know what will happen, but I keep going back to the fact LSU played Smart (the subject of the "strong arse offer") for TWO full seasons after the wiretap became public. I can't imagine LSU would allow that unless they felt somewhat confident about their case. Hell, Wiseman at Memphis was suspended by the NCAA to start his season for several games, played a few, then left the program.
