That's not a terrible idea.

Can somebody explain to me how they "got" Will Wade?

I know there's the letter of allegations, but I mean, it's been years since that wire tap thing. Surely he didn't do anything after that?

Which player(s) did they catch him offering "inducements" to?

He’s not a good coach. Poor man’s Cal.

It's gonna suck, but LSU did the correct thing. At least on the Football side, you have a great coach to guide you through.

Woodward's job now becomes jumping the NCAA's arse and insuring that ALL schools involved in the FBI probe get hammered as well. Don't become the scapegoat and allow Auburn, Kansas, and others to walk free.

Let's get the details first. Sounds like WW got sloppy and that's on him.

You people are delusional. Will Wade should have a final 4 appearance with all the crap he's been doing. The dude is a freaking weasel and can't coach at the end of games. You guys are acting like you are losing a national championship coach. Absolutely pathetic behavior by all of you


WW is a hall of fame coach compared to Johnny, Trent, and whoever the next guy LSU is going to be able to hire.

You are naive as hell if you think teams are paying out of their personal account. And no the teams wouldn't lose a challenge in court. They are allowing players to be paid by sponsors and it is already killing athletics. It's only going to get worse

You understand the universities agree to the NCAA’s rules.

So, I'm with you on the previous coaches. BUT, I didn't know you had Nostradamus-type powers. Lets see who Scotty Woodword brings in first.

You actually think the Ad has a magic wand he can wave at the NCCA.He has no power against the NCAA. They will just wave their finger at any college and say forget. We are the power. I wish it was different,but i'm afraid it's like the IRS,just hard to stick'em.

So for all of you who think LSU should not have let Wade go, what would you have done? The evidence against him is mountainous. Do you really think the school would fare better if we stuck with him until they totally throw the book at us?

And watching a Will Wade coached game can be excruciating. We lost at least 5 or 6 games this year at the end due to his ineptitude. We should have 27 or 28 wins. It is street ball.

They should hold a few tournament games in his fricking nose. It’s big enough.

Then you don't fricking fire the top 10 coach you already have.

If Wade was fired there better not be major sanctions.

If they fired him hoping to appease the NCAA without a deal in place then this administration is beyond incompetent.


Dude, WW left a massive paper trail that he also tried to cover up. I loved WW, but the shite he did you can't come back from, at least at LSU.

He’s a p**sy. He’s gonna fold and people on this board will be raving about how he’s got them right where he wants them. They will say be patient and let it play out.

Could it be impossible to believe that the FBI may have had more damaging evidence on Kansas, Kentucky, N. Carolina and Auburn, but held them back to pursue Wade?

The FBI claims to have thousands of hours of wiretapped conversation that were never introduced into evidence so it's possible others programs will skate.

Merl Code admitted to paying Anthony Davis during Kentucky's championship season and that should be grounds for firing Calipari and stripping UK of their title.

And we do know from taped conversations that Zion Williamson's family was looking for cash, cars and a nice housing. Zion signs on with Duke and the family ends up living in a mansion. Yet, the NCAA allows Duke to conduct their own investigation and they claim to find Zion's recruitment on the up and up

I have no doubt that Wade is shady, but you're not going to build an elite BB team without cutting corners. Sad part is the blue bloods are going to come out of this unscathed while LSU gets pounded into the ground.
