What do you think is the reason they (JA & FKING) have not reinstated WW?

Why? Who knows?
This is my point. I don't think LSU was looking for a reason to suspend WW. Do you?
Don't you think LSU wants WW to coach the team?
Do you think LSU is enjoying all of this negative press coverage?
I think LSU was/is desperate to have WW coach his team in the tournament. But as we sit here tonight, WW remains suspended. Why??? I think it is because LSU and the NCAA know more than we all know about this situation (and it is probably not good). Otherwise, WW would be coaching LSU in the sweet 16. What other reason would LSU have to keep their coach suspended???

I wonder sometimes with the dumb shite Alleva says in the media.

This is your problem right there.
You give them too much credit. You might think they know what they’re doing.
Sometimes the people in charge don’t know what they’re doing. Sometimes the media or police or other normally trusted folks aren’t careful or sometimes they are downright dishonest.
Do you remember the Duke lacrosse scandal? Everyone was so sure those “evil” lacrosse players had abused that poor “student.” But it turns out police, investigators, and the DA made shite up and ignored truth. And Alleva jumped to conclusions due to media pressure and fired the lax coach. Sound familiar?
Maybe Wade did exactly what is alleged. But maybe not. I don’t believe any unconfirmed report any more. I saw some poster earlier say that such skepticism is “desperation” with regard to Wade. I call it prudent. Wait until all information comes out.
And please don’t say say Wade wouldn’t “talk to his boss.” LSU unnecessarily created a circumstances that ensured he wouldn’t be able to meet with them. Self inflicted and totally unnecessary.
And the whole hypocrisy thing is a totally different issue for another discussion.

Meanwhile, rumor has it EarringWilliams has a very ugly reason for anti-Wade sentiment.
So between the two, that answer would lean "no".
quote:I think FKing was short-sighted enough, incompetent enough, and clueless enough to believe suspending Wade would generate positive press coverage. He had no idea as to how this would go down. He had no idea people like Vitale would actually use Wade's suspension as an excuse to further sully LSU. Just as FKing had no clue about the LesMiles' PR situation going into the TexasA&M game, or the PR nightmare in the Vandy game to seal the SEC Championship.

quote:Not a chance !
I think it is because LSU and the NCAA know more than we all know about this situation
To believe that, you'd have to believe (a) the NCAA and LSU were somehow able to thoroughly differentiate Smart and Wade's situations, (b) the information came to LSU immediately upon the Yahoo release, and outside of the Dawkins leak, and (c) the information somehow warrants suspension, but not dismissal.
None of that makes any sense.

Hand wringing. An insecure, incompetent, vacillating FKing President, and a BOS Chair who would prefer a coach with a higher melanocyte count.

What’s the reason he’s not fired then?
What is there possibly gained by this goofy limbo situation?

Sometimes fools fall into it unintentionally. Do you really think they thought they were going to be getting the negative coverage?

Dude, The administration fricked this up and from What I am hearing from a BOS member other members are starting to realize the shite show was brought on by two morons

You are such an idiot idk where to begin. So if you had a conversation with a buddy and your buddy brought up someone else that rapped some girl and you comment on the rape while someone records you then they produced a partial tape of that conversation that made you sound like the rapist and at the same time some girl accuses you of rape then suddenly the tape is given to the cops and the media for all to hear would you be guilty or set up to sound guilty? You would likey be charged with this crime but when they find out you were at work offshore during these events you would finally be freed from all charges. Would you want people to still say he’s guilty with only circumstantial evidence? Of course not and that’s why we have a justice system in place you moron. Discussing something is far different than actually doing something arse clown.
My goodness it’s like you people don’t actually have a brain. There are so many different scenarios which could come out of this yet you dead heads can only think of one? WW wasn’t caught on tape he was set up and this was leaked right before the tourney for a purpose. This wasn’t incidental. If WW was guilty of course it wouldn’t matter to anyone if other teams were doing it, why would we care about other teams? What people are pissed about is that LSU is being drug through the mud on this while others are getting a complete pass, for now, which is still bias AF. We are the only school which has suspended its coach for far less crimes. We are the only school which the national sports media is hating on or doubting bc of allegations that were likely maliciously leaked by our enemy or foe. This was purposely done to hurt LSU and it’s basketball program and our AD has bent the knee to our enemy, essentially. That’s why people are pissed the hell off and it’s for damn good reasons. DV can go to hell. That guy will get what’s coming to him. What a piece of trash this guy is. Non recyclable trash, the kind that’s bad for the earth and it’s inhabitants.

How some people support this self-interested and self-preserving admin and still call themselves LSU fans is beyond comprehension.

I wonder if they get paid for up/downvoting as well as for posting. If so, maybe not a bad gig for a broke college student.

It's not really beyond your comprehension. You alluded to it above...
What's really astounding is that they're too tone deaf to recognize that deploying trolls here isn't moving the needle of public opinion, and if anything it's backfiring and creating even more opposition.
Joe just can't seem to wrap his mind around the idea that trashing Wade isn't making him any friends or earning him any sympathy. If it has any effect, it's that it's pissing people off even more.
It's as if the manner in which most of us would have liked him to handle the situation has never even occurred to him.
He thinks it's a zero-sum game between he and Wade, and that the stupid fans will inevitably side with one or the other. Hence the barrage of dimwitted trolls.
His best interests at this point would be to resign and save at least some face. Whatever goodwill existed for him is long gone now after his petty attacks on the popular, young, successful coach.

Obviously the relationship between an AD and Head coach at a university is different than a small business owner and his employees or office manager and staff. In general a good coach will make more than the AD and has autonomy to run the program as he sees fit ext. A head coach is more akin to a CEO, while the AD is the vice president of the board. It is just annoying that you are conflating how this situation should be handled by Wade in the same way you would handle a rumor your line cook spit in someones salad.
