Honestly with a weak as sanctions are now days, even if Wade committed a violation or 2 you keep him and take your 1 or 2 year hit. Louisville is in the tourney, Oregon was hit this summer, they are in the tourney. Syracuse got slapped with 12 violations 4 years ago and Boheim missed 4 regular season games. There is no death penalty and with the TV money no power conference team is going to be crushed the way they used to.


This scandal is too big for the NCAA to investigate on its own. Other schools are digging in, keeping a low profile, letting the storm blow over. The NCAA is licking its chops at the possibility of finding a scapegoat so they can mete out some punishment and act like they are fighting corruption. And LSU is serving up Wade on a platter.

Wade is on tape, twice.

The transcript is damning. It’s really, really hard to spin it any other way.

Which is exactly why LSU shouldn't be in the media talking badly about Will Wade. First it was the tweet saying that even discussing an illegal offer is a violation. Then it was Alleva talking about Wade again after the tournament win.

Earl asserts in his letter that NCAA investigators pressured him into making allegations.

“The NCAA basically told me if they didn’t find any ‘wrongdoing’ that I would only be awarded one year left of my college career,” wrote Earl, who arrived at KU in January 1997.

“They said, ‘If we don’t find any dirt on coach Brown, you won’t be allowed to play but one more year at Kansas. … If we do find out wrongdoing by coach Brown, you will be able to play two and a half more seasons.'”

Earl wrote he told the NCAA “some little things,” including that LSU gave him money.

“I was pressured into telling them SOMETHING,” Earl wrote.


They did the same thing to Steffond Johnson back in the 80s. He didn’t give them anything they could use against Daddy Dale.

Well yea. Only a moron would speak to the NCAA when he isn’t under investigation and is a witness in an upcoming trial.

Only a moron AD would ask that of his coach


Yeah, pretty stupid. Alleva may have well had LSU threatened by the NCAA and was "invited"

Thats the worst part. You all dont know shite, but bash Aleeva, who is the one protecting LSU. Wade can coach, but his first priority is saving his arse, not LSU

Have you noticed that lsu is the only program being talked about? It's because we suspended a coach during a sec title run.


No, it’s because this has been going on for 2 years and everything else is old news. LSU is new info, there is nothing else new coming out. That’s why it’s under the microscope

So how can you prove Wade was offering anything more than a starting position as a true freshman?
Had the the lsu administration hekd their ground the NCAA has nothing on wade nor smart. They have an ambiguous transcript that can easily be explained away even if its all lies.


Because money still could have changed hands. It’s obvious he wasn’t talking about something like a starting spot or he wouldn’t be hesitating to talk

Maybe, but maybe not. Ever since they nuked USC football, they've sort of abandoned the vindictive, scorched-earth sanctions of the past. Miami and Oregon got slaps on the wrists for comparable violations. Penn State and Ole Miss had serious penalties lifted early. UNC didn't get touched at all.

I don't think Emmert wants to scapegoat a major program unless there are blatant, provable infractions that allow an obvious path to punish them. Especially LSU, given his time there. I could be wrong, but I just don't believe he's interested in sacrificing one for the sake of others.

I really hope you're correct.

NCAA needs to be abolished/demolished. It is just another criminal cabal.

Literally everybody knows why Wade won’t speak.

I wish him well in his future endeavors.

Or someone with something to hide. Why not just explain the damn strong offer and get back to coaching since it was innocuous?

They did not ask for explanation, they set up for him to testify before the NCAA. There was not investigation by the NCAA. Why did LSU make this a case against Wade?

Mr. Lester,

As a veteran poster, I've seen my share of gangbangs here...but none as brutal as what's happening to you in this thread.

To clarify, I'm not sympathetic to your position. This is not because I find your point inaccurate, but because I don't see any point at all. You are all over the place, conceding this, contradicting that, passing on opportunities to clear the air about what your REAL argument is...and it comes across as yet another in a loooong line of contrarian troll attempts by a user name designed to elicit a negative response.

If you have an argument to make, I suggest you sit and write a meaningful and concise OP that you can defend. Quit jumping in and derailing others' threads with wishy-washy takes.

I feel you regret not being taken seriously at times, especially when you seem to have a point to make. So make it, defend it, or just admit that all this is just more of the same old Lesterine arse-wash.

Respectfully,
19

King and Alleva are the worst Pres. and AD we have ever had at the same time. It’s a miracle we haven’t had to shut the school down. I wouldn’t let these two morons be a night manager at Waffle House much less put in charge of a major public institution. If the BOS doesn’t see it then they are just as dumb.

Right, suspending the coach of a top ten, SEC championship team had nothing to do with it. The suspension has gotten more play than the tape. Another Alleva frick up along with his PC post game comments.
