It's not what you believed happened it's what you can prove...
If the NCAA was a prosecutor in a court of law you would have a point, but they are not. If a coach agreed to play under their organization they agreed to the rules being whatever they say they are, and the proof required for a violation is whatever they want it to be.

Pretty sure nobody believes that Wade didn’t cheat in any way.
If this were true, then none of these threads would be necessary and no one should have an issue with the suspension. What’s asinine is your comment. And if no one thinks he didn’t cheat then why on earth are people not blaming Will Wade for anything? Sorry, you can’t play both sides.

I just think most people here think it's the Administrations job to support the coach 100%, and that's just not the case. It's a business, and a public university with lots of stakeholders.
No one is saying they always have to support a coach regardless of the circumstances. We just feel like this administration jumped the gun in this instance and made a shite mountain out of what very well could have been just a slight bump in the road.
If the information we have is all the NCAA and the LSU administrations has, there will be zero sanctions handed down. If the NCAA and the LSU has more information than we have, they should just come out with it and fire him.
The way they are handling this is leaving the fan base in limbo at a very critical time for LSU basketball. We are in a position we haven’t been in in years. Of course the fans are going to be pissed about the way this is being handled and if a scenario plays out where we enter the tournament and get beat out immediately and then Wade is cleared and reinstated, all hell is going to break loose with the fan base.

Did you talk to drug dealers about potential other drug deals on a federal wiretap? This is a stupid parallel you’re trying to draw btw
Again, if I did, it’s irrelevant to whether or not I’m actually guilty of purchasing drugs. We could have specifically talked about prices of drugs, had actual plans for the transportation of drugs, and given specific dates about drug deals, but that STILL would not mean I absolutely purchased drugs. You’re missing one key element. THE ACTUAL DRUGS.
It’s not a crime to talk about illegal activity.

It’s a little thing called evidence, Barney Fife. You got none.
A cop can know a guy just broke the law but without evidence, he can’t fricking arrest him.
He can’t just haul him into jail and say “he’s guilty because I know he did it”. It doesn’t work that way in this country.

Then Wade should have no issue speaking with Alleva if no evidence whatsoever exits

He can arrest him for probable cause and stop him for a reasonable suspicion. Nonetheless, it’s irrelevant what cops can do because the NCAA isn’t the police and doesn’t require the same burden. Neither does LSU to maintain compliance with the NCAA. Neither does Will Wade’s contract. Those are the rules in which we operate here, not criminal procedure. So please refrain from any other irrelevant and ignorant parallels you’ve been trying to draw.

I really can’t wrap my head around why LSU would involve the NCAA on the initial meeting with Wade.
I’m willing to concede that the suspension may very well have been warranted and reasonable, but I just don’t understand - or think it’s appropriate - to bring in a 3rd party policing agency from the get-go.
To a lesser extent, I do not think it was appropriate for the BOS to be in on the initial meeting.
First meeting should have been Alleva and Wade. Then proceed from there.

He already said he would talk to them. He simply requested his lawyer be there and a limit to the scope of questions. He is under a subpoena by the FBI in a huge case. He is limited to what he can and can’t talk about.
Why is this so hard for you people to understand?

He could hold him for 24 hours for questioning but not arrest him (well, I suppose he could arrest him but it would be extremely stupid to do so and any cop that did so wouldn’t be allowed to be a cop for long)
You are completely missing the point. Do you really think the NCAA is going to bring sanctions down on LSU or Wade strictly based off what we know of that’s on that tape? If that’s all they have (and nothing has indicated they have anything else) they will not do anything. Could they? Sure. They COULD give a school the death penalty because they didn’t like the color of the uniforms the team wore for a Thursday night gane. But they would never do something that stupid. They don’t HAVE to have the same evidence that would be required in a courtroom. I agree with you on that. But they still make every attempt to get at least close to that kind of evidence.
I’ve asked this before. If the NCAA doesn’t care about getting hard evidence against a school. Why was Ole Miss not sanctioned for Tunsil admitting to being paid on national television?

Who said anything about Wade discussing it publicly? Is someone hindering the investigation at OLOL that’s required to do so by contract? If so, are they facing scrutiny? Are they still employed? Are you incapable of presenting a good argument or maybe staying on topic?

Exactly. The LSU administration went straight to DEFCON1 over a yahoo report. Lol what a clown show.

Once again...Will Wade is not under subpoena. He hasn't been served. This isn't difficult to understand. Until he is served, there is no legal reason he can't speak to whomever he wants about whatever he wants.
It may clearly be inadvisable given his circumstances, but it's not prohibited.
I practiced mass torts defense for about 37 years, and Will Wade hasn't been served, so there are, as yet, no restrictions on what he can say. Probably advisable that he doesn't, but he can if he wishes to.

Good Lord!
He hasn't been served! There is no, none, zip reason he cannot speak to anyone in the entire universe about absolutely ANYTHING he wishes to talk about.
He can speak to the FBI or the NCAA about LSU basketball or his diet or his favorite movies. There is NO LEGAL REASON that he can't.
He CAN. His lawyers have advised him NOT TO, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO LEGAL REASON that he CANNOT.
He doesn't want to. That's his right, probably because he doesn't want to expose himself to NCAA or criminal charges, but he absolutely CAN speak about anything he wishes right now.

"He has been notified that he will be subpoenaed."
And you think this means anything? It carries absolutely no legal weight. None.
Some of you need to stop trying to be lawyers. This isn't Matlock.

What does weigh in though, is the fact that Wade is slated to be questioned closely regarding wiretapped conversations. They were conversations which he did not know were recorded. They were conversations he may not have memorialized. There may be elements of those which he honestly has forgotten or remembers differently.
Without full unfettered access to the tapes to refresh his memory, Wade could easily pass on erroneous information to LSU or the NCAA based on honest but faulty recollection. Now that would not be a very bright thing to do, would it?
In fact, it wouldn't be a very bright thing on LSU's part to even request.
