“ remain optimistic that will wade will be coaching at LSU for many years to come.”

LSU removed Wade and has kept him removed even though he expressed interest in returning. They have basically hung him out to dry because he refuses to provide them with testimony because he’s received notice of a subpoena.

Who knows what will happen, but I am hard-pressed to think Will going to want to hang around LSU no matter the outcome of his testimony.

I wouldn't if I was Wade.

Yes, I fully understand that LSU admin is trying to protect LSU. At the same time however I fully understand realities and they want Wade to fall on his sword so others don't have to under the cover of "what's best for LSU". And yes, the two can exist simultaneously.

But I'll put it like this, again:
LSU is trying to protect LSU by pointing at an employee of LSU.

Do they really think that will work?

The fact that you even replied to me shows what type of pussy you are.

From LSUs point of view I think this is more of an attempt to stay away from a LOIC than it is a moral perspective.

Is it because that portion of conversation was irrelevant to the investigation/trial? No, it obviously is.


The FBI is trying to prove that Adidas and their money handlers were defrauding colleges. In short, they pay players and send them to Adidas sponsored programs. The kids sign a form with the school saying they've received no improper benefits. The schools give them a scholarship, but then the kid is ruled ineligible by the NCAA for receiving benefits, thereby defrauding the innocent university.

The defense wants to leak the tapes to make it appear that the universities are complicit in the schemes, thereby establishing reasonable doubt for its client.

thank you. Makes sense.

So in short... the goal of the defense is to actually point the finger at the schools, even if in addition to Adidas?

Can't defraud a university if they were party to the fraud.

ETA: you don't know by chance if those transcripts were read aloud into record with the jury in the room or out do you?

To my knowledge, they were excluded as evidence to the defense's chagrin. I haven't read anywhere that they were read into the record. Can you even do that if excluded? Idk. But the leak of the tapes points to the defense. They have the motive.

You think that Will Wade has $10 million lying around?

He's under contract with no buyout. If he quits, he owes LSU the remainder of his contract. C'mon, man.

Well, with that view I can see why it bothers you that Wade was benched



Can you not see the big picture here? It's quite obvious that you can't.

Big Picture:

Pre-Wade LSU basketball sucked big time, for a long time. Only 1 NCAA win in last 13 years.

With Wade, LSU basketball wins Outright SEC Championship and gets highest NCAA seed in over 25 years in year 2.

Without Wade: LSU basketball won't be able to hire a top flight coach, won't be able to recruit top flight players and LSU will once again go back to sucking big time.

So.......... Why not stand behind the one guy that brought success to a total and complete clusterfrick program and roll the dice with him. What have you got to lose? Sanctions???? LOL

This program goes back to being a dumpster fire, with or without sanctions, if Wade is forced out of here or leaves for a program that will actually stand behind him.

That's the big picture.

What needs to happen is him not having to testify under oath,


So you think he's doing this willingly?

How would you suggest he dodge a subpoena?

Wade's camp doesn't have to refute shite the media says. You think too much like Alleva.

Will Wade cannot talk to LSU because of upcoming federal trial: >


Wade has never said it was illegal for him to talk. His attorneys have advised him not to because of the trial.

quote:

If you need even more evidence, Wade was actually going to meet with LSU.


Yes, he was going to meet with Alleva and King, but then they cancelled and wanted him to meet with NCAA. That changed the game. Wade chose not to attend under those conditions.

quote:

LSU invited the NCAA to be present


The key word is that it is reported that the NCAA Requestedto be present. Not sure they have legal authority to demand to be present.

I know one thing, and I speak from experience of having been sucked into a bribery (or foreign soil) trial... never be interviewed by, speak to, chat with, or in any shape form or fashion with FBI without your lawyer. Ever. Even if they "want to just clear some things up", "get some background information", or "helping you out". Ever.

When they ask you "do you have anything to add about ______", don't say yes- because you better have something useful and you better pony up. Don't say no, because if they find out you knew anything about anything, you lied to the FBI. It's a trap with no way out. You answer "do you have a specific question".

Dealing with the Feds is a whole other animal. They can be vindictive. They sometimes want you to say what they want. There's a reason their conviction rate is astronomically high- they have almost unlimited resources. If they think you can help them get a conviction, you will be pressured relentlessly. If you can't help them, they just might include you because since you didn't help them, you are obviously hiding something.

There is no way in hell under fed subpoena I talk about anything remotely close to their case. Period. There's perjury and obstruction, and that's just to start with. There's tampering, for both sides- you and the one you are talking to, to worry about. You just might find yourself as an un-indicted co-conspirator.

One day you're thinking "well, I don't know shite, why do they want to talk to me". 2 months later you are in solitary in Marion or Jesup FCI for witness tampering. Doesn't make 2 shits to the Feds. All they care about is getting their target.
