Absolutely false. he can discuss anything he wants to. There is no gag order on the case. He has chosen to not say anything and hide behind his lawyers.
Further, WW's "legal issues" are even more the reason LSU needs to talk to him and find out what's going on.
Tell you what... get a job, have something embarrassing and potentially part of a court case leak out to the media that involves your employment, refuse to meet with your boss, and let me know what happens to you.
Nobody said anything about a gag order. But when you've been subpoenaed, anything you discuss can be used against you, and, as I understand it, LSU had NCAA officials on the phone, and his lawyers told him not to go.
That makes plenty of sense to me.
As for me having a job and doing something to get myself in hot water, or being accused of something bad, that is an apples to oranges comparison. Most bosses don't care about protecting workers in every day jobs. They'd just fire me to rid themselves of the distraction.
It's a LOT different when you have a coach who you are paying over 2 million a year, who has taken your program to great heights in a short period of time. Who does it hurt to let the facts play out? If he ends up being guilty, they can cut ties with him then. Instead, they may have screwed themselves, no matter what happens with the NCAA investigation.

Wade will not be cleared but I highly doubt he will have to testify. I'll bet it's settled before then. I'd say his chances are 75%
This is just a warning shot across the bow from a few high profile coaches that didn't like Wades recruiting class and the way he's dealing.
Wade and LSU will then sit down, go through the motions and he'll be back for the tourney or next year. This s all just formalities

Well, I've been on record as saying I expect him back by the NCAA tournament, even though many seem to believe that if he isn't reinstated this week, he's done.
My biggest concern is beyond this year, does he really want to coach here, after the way he's been treated? I'm leaning toward no. But if LSU fires the people responsible for the botched handling of this situation, then I'd say there's a strong possibility he stays. That's all just a gut feeling, though.

That is because the NCAA will have to wait until the FBI is through.
Will Wade isn't under investigation by the FBI either. Swing and a miss.

But the FBI has information about Wade that the NCAA wants. Namely the phone recordings.

Hes being treated well. He understands what's going on far more than the average TD poster.
He said it himself, he understands what's happening.
He will be happy as hell to get reinstated

How does this refute what I posted?

The NCAA has said multiple times they are not going to start investigating ANY of this until the FBI is completely finished.
So, yes, the NCAA will have to wait until the FBI is through (not have to per se, but is choosing to)

In the eyes of LSU, clearly, it's not different at all.

In what regard? If WW gets his feelings hurt and leaves, bye Felicia. And someone will have to buy out his contract.
Look, I completely understand WW's desire to not want to talk to LSU officials about this, at this time. That doesn't change the fact that LSU officials have a job to do, and part of that job is trying to get WW to talk so they can find out what is happening, and potentially limit any further damage.

There's not a poster on this site who, if they were an administrator at LSU, would have reacted any differently than the board and staff did
Posted on 3/12/19 at 7:38 pm to lsutigermall
I could see him being cleared and then deciding to leave because of the way Joe handled this whole situation. It was a disgrace

I'm becoming convinced that WW will be cleared
He might, but I think he's done at LSU (maybe even by his own volition). Even if he's cleared, I have a feeling he will leave even if it's the NBA.
I saw one poster say that he might stick around one more year and then bounce. Seems somewhat plausible.
We need Emmert 2.0 more than ever.

Wade is on tape, twice, about paying players. The NCAA is aware of it and it’s going o be VERY hard to explain it away.

This is all starting to sound like Bill Jefferson and his "reasonable explanation" for the cash in his freezer, which, to this day, he still has not given us.
It also depends on what the definition of “is” is.

If he won’t meet with LSU admin now, what changes? I still don’t understand what could/would be discussed that his legal counsel is worried would be troubling for the April trial. It is not like the meeting would have legal bearing or be on the record to the public. If he can’t defend the conversation today, what changes later?
He is certainly losing the court of public opinion right now.
Maybe but I would wager that He will meet with LSU as soon as the trial is over or is settled. Why? Because LSU can’t decide to put him in prison for what he says or doesn’t say. Sure they can fire him. But people get fired all the time and believe it or not can still lead successful lives. And I know he is a witness and not on trial, but perjuring yourself is still a crime, is it not?

Doesn’t matter. The administration basically threw A great basketball coach under the bus. No way he stays at LSU after this shite show, and LSU will have a difficult time finding another coach like Wade who would want to coach under this administration. Back to Johnny Jones and the cellar boys. Just accept it.
