As I've attempted to explain to irish, all Wade has to say is that he was joking with Dawkins, to placate him. For goodness sake, they are both LAUGHING
if you heard the tape of the call. Wade is rapid-firing jokes 1-2-3, and Dawkins is giggling like a middle school girl. We also don't have the full context of the call.

There is 0% chance LSU reinstates Smart, or keeps Naz eligible if there is proof of illegal benefits to the players. Also, the good point was made that other coaches have been convicted and sent to prison for taking bribes. Wade or no one on his staff have been connected to this kind of behavior in any report I've seen, and several other coaches HAVE BEEN.

At most, we are docked a few scholarships, and that's only because the NCAA can be unpredictable in handing out punishment. Sean Miller has gone NOWHERE, Arizona hasn't even received an NOA to my knowledge, and his taped calls were as bad or worse than Wade's (though not pumped to the max by the media). Wade and Miller also share the same attorney, who has kept Miller's arse out of the fire.

OK numb-nuts. That was a conversation about ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE beyond WW's phone call (admission of guilt). Wow. Read the entire post/conversation.

You’re cool with the NCAA sanctioning LSU for innuendo?


Yes. And so should you....if you were a real LSU fan (with character).

Yes. That is exactly how it works. You may not like it, but that is how it works.

This part of what the NCAA does is all for show, you are guilty.

It has been said 1000 times...but I'll say it again, the NCAA DOES NOT NEED PROOF. The NCAA is NOT A COURT OF LAW.

Are you kidding? What was WW talking about on that call?

Okie state got its notice of allegations a long time ago. All the “damning” information on LSU has been out for a long time. What’s taking so long if as they say it’s so obvious LSu and wade is going down?
His and your whole argument is they don’t need definitive proof because this is not a court of law

So why don’t we all call the NCAA and tell them saban is giving a barber in Amite money to steer players to Alabama?
If they don’t need proof.... the they should be put on probation

Zion can testify that his mother is consulting firm received $10 million in payments, and nothing will happen to Duke. They are truly bullet proof

Irish, you really astound me with your stupidity.

I am POSITIVE Wade (along with every major coach) has broken the rules on recruiting. This goes all the way back to John Wooden, who was as dirty as it gets. I was just demonstrating to your slow arse how his phone call(s) can be explained when questioned by the NCAA. Every elite player in basketball and football receives illegal inducements to attend the college they select. This is why it's such a joke when bleeding heart lib sportswriters bang the drum for paying the "poor" players. The ones that deserve to get paid ARE getting paid.

When Wade properly explains the call, EVERYBODY AND THEY GRANDMA denies getting paid to go to LSU, and there is NO MONEY TRAIL, there is no case left. As I've suggested before, go root for Cornell or Colgate, because they may not cheat. And if you think Johnny Jones was some paragon of virtue, he was mainly responsible for burying our program in the late 90's with his rule breaking. He also recruited 3 players as hc here that appeared on a list of players paid by shoe companies to go to certain schools.



You must LOVE the movie Hoosiers. Those were the good ole days. These schools have been buying players for at least the last 50 years. I don't think you can handle how the sausage is made in big time college sports.

It's truly hilarious that irish thinks just a phone call from someone who knows something can land a program on probation without supporting evidence to go along with the tipster. I have gone to the Boo Williams eybl several times. Do you know I saw John Calipari hand a recruit $15,000 in the bathroom while I was taking a piss. I also saw coach k open hand slap a player in the face that he was teaching post moves to, AND he called him the n-word. That's all irish needs for proof on those 2 coaches. If I can just find the number to NCAA hq, those 2 programs are TOAST baby.

There "IS" supporting evidence, dummy. WW's own voice on the wiretaps. When LSU receives its letter from the NCAA (as multiple sources have now reported), what will that say about your views on evidence?

THIS is your solution to cheating. Either ignore it or go and cheer for another school that does not cheat. YOU are certainly part of the problem and YOUR attitude is what makes the cheating problem difficult to resolve. You can denigrate, insult, and make fun of us who want integrity.....but we will not "go away" simply because you choose to wallow in the gutter of dishonesty. LSU would be a far better place if YOU would just go away.

Well, if you can also provide a recording of Saban bragging about his strong arse offers, then you might just have something.

They just say you are guilty. The NCAA "pretends" to listen to your plea, but they have already completed their investigation and you are guilty.

You're still on this? What is it about WW that makes you despise him so? Any time the man's name is even mentioned, you show and start with all this speculation even though you dress it up and try to sell it as it being "evidence."



You yourself said there's no evidence.

quote:

You are the one that claimed that there was evidence against Will Wade.

Yes, I did. I watched the HBO special and heard WW speak. THAT is evidence. Some here do not want to accept this as evidence. Maybe not good enough for a murder trial, but MORE than enough for the NCAA.
quote:
Now you're saying that you don't know that there is any evidence.

I said I was not aware of "additional evidence." WW incriminating himself is evidence AND is enough for the NCAA.



Because you saw it on a tv show.
Give it a freaking rest. Geez, man.
