This. Never. Happened.



He paid someone out of his wife's account. I thought it was a girlfriend but I think I got that confused looking back at this from an article in the Advocate (so take that for what it is worth).

quote:

In another allegation involving Wade, he was alleged to have made payments of an unknown sum in April 2018 to an unnamed man for his services to act as an impermissible recruiter for an unnamed player. The money, according to the allegation, came out of a bank account in the name of Wade's wife.

They were just gunning for Wade. I think it was the last gasp effort of the NCAA to stay relevant. Wade did get a show cause but it was minimal after he had already sat out a year.

Yes Wade did behave stupidly. But all we had to do was suspended him for a while and maybe take a 1yr postseason ban instead of the indefinite one we’re now on.

Clearly, we'd be on our way to a three-peat!

Getting fired was the best thing to ever happen to Wade! Now, in the selective memory of the Rant, he will always be remembered as a god.

He's like the backup QB - always better than the starter. So sayeth the Rant.

Scott did the right thing as he has done all through his career as AD.

NCAA has clubbed Wade, Vadal&Funes, OBJ post NC cash thrown at players together into a "lack of institutional controll".

We had to get rid of Wade to protect the football program that is almost always at the top of the SEC.

If the football program went into a real probation and got docked with a post season ban and scholarship reductions aka Miami (early 90s), Bama (early 2000s), USC ( late 2000s) we would be in big trouble. Wade was not worth that.

You guys think Wade is like Nick Saban or Skip Bertman or some of the other great coaches that have come our way. He is not. NONE of those great coaches cheated their way to success....NONE. They won it in the field.

Scott hired Kim Mulkey and look where WBB is, he hires Jay Johnson and he has brought home a Natty, Brian Kelly has restored a program broken by our home town fan favorite. Each has been a quality hire.

Scott's hands were tied when he hired McMahon. When he hired McMahon, we were hit with 15 level one infraction in basketball alone, on probation and awaiting penalities. Nooooo 1/2 of a SEC calibre coach would come to a school with not that strong a winning tradition and looking down the barrel of a cannon. Wade got us there single handedly.....and even after being caught on tape....kept denying everything till the NCAA passed judgement.

Scott does not go to the Murray States to get coaches....he hires already highly successfully coaches.

Also for Kelly's detractors, let me explain... If Ed Orgeron was allowed to continue for two more years or we hired Curly Hallman or Gerry Dinardo or Mike Archer, we would be going 0-8 in today's SEC with the tranfer portal and NIL chipping away at our recruiting advantage.

So let us thank God for Scott Woodward and his administration as AD.

SU wouldn't have competed for anything in basketball and everyone would be whining because the season quite literally would not have mattered at all, for a minimum of 3 years. Then football also gets hit, loses scholarships (at minimum) and is in a significantly worse place. The real question you should be asking yourself is what would have happened if Wade never lied to Woodward. Because the answer to that question is Will Wade might still be your head coach.


Where is the proof that football would’ve gotten hit as well?

Lol that some of yall actually believe this. WW never accomplished anything of note at LSU and he was never going to get more talent than he’d already accumulated on some of his teams

- NCAA drops the hammer on Football.
- Woodward fired
- Mulkey, Jay Johnson are hired elsewhere

LSU loses 2 championships.

... Was it worth it?

You people need to accept that your boy toy Will Wade is gone and never coming back. LSU and the majority of its fans do not care about basketball.

zero proof. urban myth. you keep repeating rumors and false narratives just because some other dumbass said it and now you repeat it. this is very analogous to the morons for years who stated these comments.

I am not getting that information off of tigerdroppings.

urban meyer sucks get that gimmick offense out the sec. meanwhile he goes on to win multiple titles with a power spread offense.

get all that damn motion out our offense it does not do shite anyway! meanwhile motion helps created mismatches and gets you free off the LOS and helps determine man or zone.

Saban cannot coach! all he can do is recruit! meanshile he had the best D in the NFL one year with the browns and had good defenses with the dolphins and his defenses remained solid at bama even after going through many DC's proving it was sabans X and O's/system that those DC's ran.
What the frick are you talking about?

I like Will Wade and wish he was still our head coach. Matt McMahon needs to be fired at the end of the year (interims are worthless).

That doesn't make any of what I said false.
