So your theory is the NCAA gives a show cause and let’s him coach?

Nope. Probably should’ve done it 3 years ago!

It’s really not even a question. Wade WILL get a show cause penalty. LSU was going to have to let him go one way or the other. The question is whether they should have risked potentially greater penalties for the sake of this year’s tournament. If they saved even one year of probation by firing him now, I think it was the right call.

Let it go! Let it GOOOO! Can't hold it back anymore!!

You do know that you can hire and/or keep a coach with a show cause, correct?
You don’t think Wade has been effectively working under a show cause arrangement for the past three years already? And what did he do? He got caught offering illegal inducements to a recruit. What reason does Woodward have to go to bat for him and trust him under a show cause going forward?

It comes down to how you feel about honesty. If that is not important, then anything goes. As they always say, the problem was that he got caught. If not, it can go on forever. If you don't care then I say there is something wrong with your honesty. You can hem and haw, but that doesn't solve what happened. Honesty is always the best thing in all situations.

I feel like I am only a fan and I’m not privy to all the details that are not made public. This is not Woodward‘s first rodeo. He has had a good track record so far with hires. With all of the positive things that Wade brought to the table, it’s well documented that he’s a crappy cheater. It’s someone else’s turn and hopefully they will be better at cheating

I have an open mind, but if I tell a lie can I really make that disappear. It's history, but it appears that today you somehow can make it go away. What are people thinking today. It's obvious what a lot of people are thinking. So sad.

No. Time to move on.

The NCAA has no control over who LSU employs, in any capacity- from coach to janitor.
What a silly idea.
Coaches with show causes do operate under restrictions, such as no off campus recruiting and scholarship reductions. And potential postseason bans.

You think it wasn’t?
I thought that was a pretty open secret. The Title IX stuff alone meant O shouldn’t have gotten a dime.

This is partly why the FBI is so intrigued.

Hell yes. This NOA is trash.

I agree. And honestly what Wade did is no worse than what everybody else was doing. You say he got caught but you know what................so did everyone else. The only thing that is different about this whole thing is on an HBO documentary Wades voice is on there. Which ironically ended up being different(strong arse offer) than what they(the NCAA/media) thought.

If anyone read the entire NOA and still thinks he was wrongly fired its not even worth discussing it with them, they will never be convinced.

Should it matter that everyone else was doing it? I am not a goody goody but this stuff reads pretty bad. When things start to get covered up you know they knew it was wrong.

Anyone reading the NOA might assume that the allegations were true and had evidence to back them up. Anyone might assume that the the NCAA would only include allegations if they were true and supported by evidence. Anyone would assume that the wording of the allegations were not misleading. They might also assume that the NCAA was working in good faith.
Jordy Culotta had an interesting podcast on Monday morning addressing this.
It’s worth a listen.
An example of misleading, according to Jordy, is the extortion text exchange with the ex-fiancée. This occurred whilst WW was at VCU not LSU and has no bearing on WW’s employment at LSU. Furthermore, WW voluntarily handed in his phone at that time because he was being extorted. That issue was dealt with at the time. It shouldn’t have been lumped in with the other allegations. It had already been dealt with by the NCAA. It’s not relevant to this situation.
I invite you and other readers to take a listen. The WW portion begins at around the 9 minute mark:

Like listening to a Jordy C podcast is accurate...
In reality though if Wade failed to cooperate per some of the allegations toward the end then he probably broke his agreement with LSU when he met with LSU admins a couple yrs ago.

Yeah. Wade is a good coach (I think) who was in over his head and desperate to cover up his mistakes. I think he's known for a couple of years this day was coming.
I do appreciate the hell out of his effort the last two years with this over his head though.
