It doesn't, which is why he is suspended until it can be sorted out.

Nothing has been proven. That is what investigations are for, which the Wade camp are currently holding up.

Make up your mind, arse.

Suspensions are for minor violations. If there is suspicion he is guilty, then the only two valid options are:

a). Fire him just in case and make your point, or

b). Allow his personal rights to take precedent, keeping in mind that you are in AMERICA, where DUE PROCESS is a guaranteed right, and handle the situation internally once all of the FACTS come to light.

Geez. Its like they want to throw their coach under the bus so badly, then backup and run him over again to the point where if they don't find wrongdoing that they can fire him with cause, that he'd just be so pissed at the LSU administration that he'll resign on his own.

So what? It's damned if you do damned if you don't. I say let him coach and see how it all plays out. It'll take just as long to recover from how the BOS is reacting as it will sanctions.

Exactly my point. It is only suspicion right now. They can't even justify a suspension of Wade right now with facts. Only suspicions.

Will Wade is done at LSU. That much is clear. They should all be team LSU, quite literally. Instead their legal teams are trading jabs at each other through the media and laying blame at the feet of the other party.

At a minimum, the relationship is being soured to a point beyond repair.

God, I'm good.

A suspension is a decision too, dumbass. Now you have painted yourself into a corner just like the admin has.

The only "decision" of the two provided by me, and the suspension as well, that works out well for everyone involved at both a PR and institutional level is to back your coach until FACTS are given and PROVEN, and then address the situation appropriately based on those facts.

Not a hard concept. I know you'll perform some mental gymnastics to avoid this fact, however.

LSU isn’t receiving my annual donation to the endowment until changes are made at the administrative level.

They've already jumped to a conclusion. It's just SOP institutional CYA processes on the part of LSU now.

Why publicly deny wrongdoing when the NCAA hasn't come out and said they think he's done something wrong?
Huh?

They didn't ask Will Wade to go public with any denials. They want to meet with him and hear him deny the allegations.


He''l never coach at LSU again, nor should he very obviously, so I don't know why we need to continue this mess, just fire him and be done with it.

The dude can cite a pending investigation all he wants and I'm sure that's the best thing for him to do legally, but when an allegation like that comes out, and that coach can't meet with the school at all, much less deny the reports....then yea, he doesn't need to be coaching at this school.

It's not LSU's fault that Wade has projected guilt at every step.

I didn't say it was. They may even be right in their conclusion. I'm just making an observation on how institutions act in situations like this.

Have they?


Also, he won't even speak with the school at all about this, he's not making it very hard to see the very obvious conclusion.

But if they won't speak to him, they absolutely have to proceed with the worst in mind, that's just obvious.
