The FBI tapped Dawkins' phone, not Wade's. Wade's conversation with Dawkins was captured but outside of that the FBI has no interest in Will Wade and didn't investigate him so what else would they have. If he was taking bribes, he would've been in cuffs a long time ago. The FBI couldn't care less if coaches are paying players. That's a NCAA compliance issue, not a criminal issue.

The NCAA is hoping to get some scraps from the FBI investigation, which they may never get. All documents and evidence not admitted at trial may be sealed. So they don't really have anything.

LSU has less than both of them.

Fvrykk what you call honesty! Whatever benefits the Tigers winning on the court or the field is what matters. They all cheat. It is about being smart and lucky enough not to be caught. There is your honesty. Geaux Tigers!! Homers rule!!! Losers druel.

Seriously? Who? How much? Where did the money come from? Who delivered it? When did it happen?

You have zero answers. Just sparse allegations from a tape you’ve never actually heard and have only read brief snippets from with no context. Gosh, if you ever served on a jury you’d be yelling to go take a vote after opening remarks.

Are scholarships given out to players family members?


Nope the family part was allowing access to practice and an open door policy. Prove me wrong.

Are you under the impression every p5 program doesnt buy players?

I’ve always known this board had a lot of blind homers, but this situation has really disheartened me about our fans. Wades a cheater, and yet 90% of this board is defending him. 



Or the fact that there is frick all in evidence and while the words sounds troubling, they are easily explained away.

Then he should have no problem talking to the administration. Call me stupid all you want...I’m sure that makes you feel like an internet tough guy...but I guarantee you that WW will not be back coaching at LSU. In the meantime keep living in dream land and keep believeing that nothing shady happened.

It's getting ridiculous now... Will was caught plain and simple...

Did the administration act to early???... probably... but it is what it is...

He should have let the bagman handle it ...he complaining on the phone to a person(Dawkins) who from my knowledge had nothing to even do with what was going on...

Unlike most people I'm pretty sure all the key people have heard the recording ... and know what's coming

I’m with you...I’ve never seen such denial. It’s funny too cause these same guys would be absolutely losing their minds if the same crap was going down with Nick Saban.

Have you been following the matter? He doesn’t have a problem talking to the administration. Wade was scheduled to talk to Alleva and F. King at 10:00 AM March 8th Friday morning. Alleva and F. King canceled. They subsequently rescheduled the meeting for the same day at 4:00 PM but with LSU compliance and an NCAA representative present.

Upon the advice of Wade’s legal counsel Wade rejected the 4:00 PM meeting due to the presence of NCAA representatives.

All we can do is speculate why Wade’s attorneys gave him such advice but me, you the the Rant really doesn’t know.

In NC’s defense you are the one that started the ad homs by bringing in his “wife”.

Not cool.

How confident are you? Would you bet $1000, $100,000, mortgage the house, bet your first born? Just trying to understand your confidence level.

Every Wade supporter is not denying shady stuff may have happened. We/they just dispute the Alleva lovers characterization and ability to prove it. If you are going to make accusations at least have evidence to back up your assertions. Even Pat Forde in his Yahoo article hedged himself to maintain plausible deniability. Now why would he do that?

No one is arguing this point.

The point is the lack of crisis management beginning March 8th by our administration that has a very high potential of fricking up this seasons recruiting class, losing the winningest LSU basketball coach in the modern era, losing current basketball players over the spring and summer to transfer, finishing last in the SEC next season and losing 10s of millions of dollars as the basketball program tanks all because a childish overreaction by our “leadership”.

That is the point.

This is so fricking dumb and you don’t even know why. Do you think there would ever be a scenario where bama’s admin would pull this shite over something as flimsy as what is being held over Wades head? You think Sankey or Emmert would do anything other than not a goddam thing?

No we don’t...but choosing not to meet and miss out coaching your team in the tournament rings alarm bells to most.

All I said was that if he was that naive then something like that could be a real possibility.
