re: Does Alleva get grace If Will Wade succeeds?

The hiring of Wade, who had been quite successful in previous stops at Chattanooga and Virginia Commonwealth, stands as Alleva’s proudest moment as LSU’s athletic director. But all isn’t rosy there. LSU made lots of promises about facilities and other things to Wade when he was hired, and in a press conference last week introducing his team the coach seemed to bristle when asked about the progress of LSU’s fulfillment. It’s clear he’s highly unsatisfied. And the LSU assistant athletic director who spearheaded the hire of Wade, Eddie Nunez, just took the AD job at New Mexico. So far Wade has done a magnificent job of recruiting and it looks a lot like he’s going to bring LSU’s basketball program back to life. But if LSU doesn’t hold up its end, Wade’s success will only serve to make him a hot name to be pursued by other programs more willing to commit to winning in basketball.
