How Bad Has The Will Wade Situation Been Handled?

Personally, I think the way this whole Will Wade situation has been handled is an embarrassment.
In summary, this is what I am basing my opinion on.
- Yahoo publishes article the day after we beat Florida, at Florida to go undefeated on the road. After that article there was the Dan Wolken article on USAtoday, a little while later Dick Vitale tweets. Joe Alleva publicly announces Will Wade is suspended.
- Alleva then publically request to meet with Will Wade who declined to meet with him.
- Smart was suspended then reinstated the day of the first game in the NCAA tournament because there was no evidence he received anything as payment to commit to LSU.
My first question is. Why would Alleva publically suspend CWW then publically announce that he wants to meet with Wade. Why would he not meet with CWW first?
Not to mention, what changed between what Alleva knew in October and what he knew at the end of February?
Dead period for recruiting ends right now.. Noon on April 11, 2019. Signing Day starts April 17 and ends May 5. No one knows what the hell is going on. It seems like the players don't know what the hell is going on.
Is it fair to blame Alleva (and/or King) for this whole thing? Because I go back to when CWW was suspended. Why suspend him then request to meet with him instead of announcing he is suspended then request to meet with him?

Handled badly by all. Bosses asked for a meeting with his attorneys present, he declines, hence we remain at this stalemate.

It is about like a self inflicted gunshot wound.

Yet Zion was able to play through his whole season without question.
Bruce Pearl played through all of Auburn’s schedule without question.
Sean Miller was only suspended for 5 days and 1 game by Arizona last year.
Yet LSU suspended players and its coach immediately and led a three ring circus around it all that is still continuing.
Nice work, Joe

Not as bad as people are freaking out about.
LSU won the SEC, made it to the Sweet 16, and the coach hasn't been fired. What's the big fricking deal?

So, what was conceivably accomplished by the actions of the administration?

WW situation is pretty bad but I think Aramark concessions has been the worst decision of Alleva’s tenure at LSU

Who cares?
It’s all about building character.

The part about the head coach being recorded talking to a convicted felon on an FBI wiretap that created this whole mess?
Or the administration trying to protect the basketball program and university?

Idk, the lack of info seems to be biggest gripe I have.

Trying to protect the basketball program by killing the program?
There’s nothing the NCAA can do that the administration isn’t already accomplishing with their incredible incompetent handling of this situation. I mean I guess they’re protecting the program from the NCAA if they kill it before the NCAA does? We’re already going to have no coach, practically no players, no post season, and no recruits bc of the administration. What’s left for the NCAA to take away?

"Conceivably"?
How about this:
Is it conceivable that Wade is re-instated just in time to pick back up on recruiting, save the class, keep Smart, and make another run in the tourney next year?
Maybe we should wait and see what the fallout of all this is before we start screaming at the sky.
