So why should we expect anything less from him here?

Yep. He was a real tool in that fiasco and cost the school a bunch of money.

A friend of mine who played football at Duke and the New Orleans Saints told me about Alleva when he heard that we were hiring him as AD. He said,"You will regret it. He is about Joe Alleva and no one else."

It would be satisfying to throw Alleva under a bus

Believe me, I’m not an Alleva fan but I believe he’s doing the right thing here...

Here, Wade is busted. There (Duke), it was what he did or risk a freaking Baylor or even worse Michigan State repurcussion.

You are wrong on both accounts.

You think he knows all the skeletons, or did he have his head burried in the sand?

Guilty until proven innocent fan huh? I guess I could accuse you of some heinous crime like rape and get your life turned upside-down only to find out it was BS. That seem fair to you?

Or maybe you could get accused of a crime that 100% of the people in your community have been committing for years including 2 or 3 of THE most prominent people, but YOU are the one of the only ones being made an example. And who is making you the example? The guy who's supposed to be your "leadership."

Wade isn't busted yet. If he's busted and there's evidence more than words/suggestions on a phone tap, why suspend and not terminate immediately?

I really don't care at this point regarding his guilt or innocence, but Alleva is NOT handling it well. You don't go half-arse like this and let your employer's brand get dragged through the mud during college basketball's biggest ratings. It's a clown show and Alleva is on center stage again making LSU the joke. Either FIRE WADE NOW and say the evidence was too much or demand concrete evidence before making any changes.

I said it in another post: Alleva's a jellyfish who gets pushed around by the tide and only ruins everything for the people he's closest to.

what Aleeva did at Duke was pathetic.

But this is different. Our coach has been caught on tape. Twice.

Duke basketball was way bigger than Alleva ever was even as their AD.

Again, I ask. How much was the benefit? When was it paid? Who delivered it. Who received it? These are slightly relevant to guilt or is just talking arrogantly without a proper investigation all the proof you personally require?

He and the President of the school boldfaced lied to the media and accused the team of not cooperating with the investigation and used it as justification for firing the coach and cancelling the season.
