yep. I'll never understand fans' loyalty to the coach more than the university.

And the OP is delusional if he thinks the tape doesn't show (or won't lead) to evidence of an offer and/or payments.

This thing stinks to high heaven, and this board is nuts if they think Wade will survive it.

When the university is infested with morons, you tend to side with your best coach on campus

How does playing in an NCAA Tournament damage the University's image?
Shaq and Chris not getting past the Regional was a black eye for the University.
Every season since Brady, with one exception, has been an embarrassment until Wade came to BR.
Which is the bigger embarrassment to LSU, Wade's team winning the SEC championship with the insinuations or Women's basketball not making the tournament.

Thanks Coach Wade for making us proud. I'll wear my LSU hat with a smile.

The picture is incomplete and we need more evidence.
BUT, i am prepared to be outraged at Will Wade, who, by preliminary appearances has placed the entire program at risk and hurt the reputation of the University.
Many here apparently do not care about that.


Maybe our administration needs to do their due diligence in vetting future employees. They have kind of sucked at that.

He won't, but suspending him and smart doesn't change that. Let it ride out, deal with it later. And on the way, let's knock off some teams and frick the tourney up.

On a very personal level I’m furious as a fan. I’ve watched every game and been to many. I’m totally vested in this team. Why the hell does the administration have the right to blow this up in our face? F**k yahoo, Dickie V , Duke, KY, Tenn, Kansas, FBI, NY Federal DA, and every one involved in this! Why can’t this all be dealt with after the season? Oh yeah F**h you JA, FKing and BoS. I’m that fricking mad.

what makes me fume is that Zion Williamson was asking for offers and there were offers from KU and then Duke ends up getting him.

I'm Duke didn't just offer him a better quality education for 1 year.
Yet KU and Duke are untouched. I guess going through 3rd parties and no phones is they way you should do it.

It all is corrupt and if LSU's Wade is caught with the hand in the cookie jar, so be it, but I want the NCAA to go after the other schools as well. There is certainly smoke with Zion just as there is smoke with Smart

"Fuming with rage" is a bit more emotion than I care to exhibit over a basketball game.

And Donald Trump was on tape saying," grab them by the pussy" but he's still president. Grow a pair! MAGA!

So Yahoo Sports says they obtained a copy of the transcripts. Really? NO - they may, or may not have obtained accurate 'snips' of the transcripts. At the end of the tape Will Wade may have said 'I'm not getting involved'. Who the hell knows. That's why Alleva should have waited this thing out.

We have been season ticket holders for 22 years and are still furious! My husband and I have been to numerous SEC tourneys and leave Wednesday to support our SEC Champions and No. 1 seed Tigers!

But why would Wade even accept a call from Dawkins who was not a registered sports agent, who anyone in college basketball coaching knew was a bagman for sports apparel companies? There would be no valid reason to discuss scholarship "offers" with Dawkins, just having a discussion with someone trying to offer prohibited compensation to a player is a NCAA violation if it is not reported by the coach or player. Wade was not smart and got caught , its on him.

If you think you're mad now just wait until Wade replaces Avery Johnson and proceeds to dominate us until 2035.

Do you really believe this crap?
Ask yourself (and be honest).....Do you really think LSU suspends WW and Smart as we are on the cusp of the NCAA tournament without knowing some really bad/incriminating info about WW? LSU athletics has way too much at stake with men's BB and the NCAA tournament ($$$). JA is a BB guy. He came from Duke, he's the former NCAA BB selection committee chair, etc. I'm NOT a JA fan. However, JA is "in the know" about all of this "NCAA BB underworld stuff."

I’m upset. Yes. I’m upset our HC got caught on tape.

I love Wade. I want to find a way to keep him. But the best of the best find ways to land top talent and keep at arms length or further away the sleaze.

FBI wiretaps and being called by the defendant is getting way way way too close.

Gotta be smarter than that. So yeah I’m upset.
