Well he should be on the side of playing dirty.
He smeared his opponent and told lies to get elected.
No taxes raised. Politicians today look at everyone else as peons. They tell whatever lie to get elected and don’t care what promises they made.

I am NOT anti-Wade. The leak SOUNDS pretty damning. I was sorta deflated by it. I am an abide by the rules man as much as winning, though. It happened just when LSU Men's Basketball was about to go Elite. If he is exonetated, I will be behind him stronger than ever.

Can anyone confirm this or know who on the BOS is pro-Wade vs anti-Wade?
If the BOS had something on Wade, it would be out by now. They already know they look like complete buffoons with the way this has been handled.
If they had any "dirt," they would've made a statement if nothing else to cover their own asses. That hasn't happened nor do I expect it to happen.
They rushed to silence the media in hopes of quieting the accusation, key word being accusation. No proof of any wrong doings.
Now Alleva has been forced by the fans from the actual basketball venue because of his and/or the BOS's decisions. And rightfully so.
There's a protest scheduled tomorrow for the exact same reasons. Wade's suspension is garbage.
Also, I've been seeing a few hints that Smart will be reinstated soon. If he's reinstated, WW should be reinstated.
The entire argument is hollow.

What part exactly? I'm really asking.

that says "the offer" would "take care of the player and his mother" for one.

Yet there is no proof that either the player nor the player's mother has received any money, correct? Which goes back to the hints of Smart being reinstated. If he's reinstated, Wade should be reinstated.
I don't follow how seemingly so many "fans" are so quick to rush to judgment on the guy based on mere speculation. It makes no sense.
You'd be ok with f it if it were you? "Well, I think he did this and that so..... yeah, get rid of him"
Until verifiable proof (not speculation) comes out, if it ever does, that Wade did something wrong, he's being scrutinized for nothing. Just speculation and that isn't fair to him. The BOS wanted to keep it quiet and ended up making more noise than anything, and in my opinion, that's good. They can all go as far as I'm concerned. F King and Alleva most definitely.
Not trying to be a jerk to you at all but considering all the evidence that everyone currently knows, it's nothing. Wade talked about a recruit. Every coach in every sport does it.

quote:That is the way Steve Haney wants it to sound. He is trying to scare hell out of enough people and programs that pressure will be placed on SDNY to cease and desist. Wade is simply a means to an end in that regard.
The leak SOUNDS pretty damning.
In terms of how this sounds, Steve Haney has no obligation to release contextually accurate transcripts. Quite the opposite in fact. Nor do press mouthpieces Pete Thamel or Dan Wetzel ever obligate themselves to getting a story right. In fact, history shows in investigative reports, Thamel appears to get things completely wrong as often as he's right.
There is no accountability though. None!
If Thamel's been led down the primrose path against Wade, he'd not GAS. Why should he? Nothing ever comes of false sports scandal reporting. Ruin a life or reputation or two in pursuit of selling more copy? So what. Who cares? That is who Thamel is as a journalist attention-whore. Ditto for Wetzel.
But yeah, it SOUNDS pretty damning.

All of that.

If he made an offer of money or other improper benefit, that is an NCAA rules violation and puts LSU in hot water possibly a la Lester Earl.
So what if everybody does it?
Frankly, I think the structure needs to be changed and players paid but the rules are the rules.

Sorry, I disagree. If my understanding is correct, the biggest "thing" to come out of this is "a strong arse offer." That's it. Who knows what that entails. Could be a great apartment, could be he's a captain, could be..... whatever. It's all speculation at this point. That's what I'm trying to convey.
There's a precedent of every school doing it. Then every school should be on the hook for the same thing.
I want to see verifiable proof that Wade did something he wasn't supposed to do. Just like you said, everybody does it. Show me proof. If the BOS can't show that, then this is a lot of nothing and Wade is being scrutinized for nothing and the BOS can thank themselves for this media circus.

Well.....Did he?

How many BOS members are not LSU grads? James Moore went to NLU and wasn't there a Tulane grad in there as well?

No idea.
We still have the question of did Wade offer money to a player and/or his mother.
So did he?
