My take on what happen..and I have no inside info.
- Bunch of money booster came to Alleva and said we can get Jimbo.
- Alleva says "OK" cause his job is to keep the money flowing.
- Money boosters and friends can't keep trap shut.
- It leaked to various sources and it was going to happen. Some approached Jimbo and made the deal...$30 million for 5 years. Jimbo was interested.
- As Saturday loomed closer, the leak is worse. Fans are ticked. Boosters are getting scared to be associated with the Miles deal.
- Miles gets word and figures he is done. Entire family at game. Fan are cheering for the Hat. Boosters and Admin has second thoughts.
- Boom. Jimbo says "No Thanks". Booster who wanted/needed a Jimbo type hire start to back off.
- Not enough money or boosters to continue, administration abandons ship, leaving the captain, Alleva.
- Alleva looks like the bad guy, but then again, he allowed this to happen. Guy has to lead and control the program, or GTFO.
Alleva is getting thrown under the bus, but he could have prevented this.

That was over ten years ago - and while he worked for Duke. Time to move on.
No. He should've never been hired after that. He should've been ruined the way he ruined others. He's a worthless piece of shite and he should've been treated as such. We're not talking about something he did as a teenager. He totally fricked up and was rewarded by LSU.

This situation and the Duke situation proves that Alleva is nothing but an incompetent puppet of an AD

Sounds more like a lot of the LSU fans on TigerDroppings to me.

Political correctness and ignorance are a bad combination...and that puts not only sports, but also this entire country in big danger...just the facts,maam!

Sounds like he cares more about the future of LSU athletics than he does his own personal image, contrary to what most are saying in this thread.
