and Wade could easily be back next season.



If you were him would you come back to work for an AD that doesn't stand up for you in the face of allegations? Oh wait, there aren't even any allegations to stand up to yet.

If you want to save your career, yes.

Joe Alleva needs to go.

This is Duke lacrosse 2.0

I’d bet you on that one Roger and I agree with most all your posts. No way Wade is back.

What is there to save? If he can coach again next year, that means he wasn't found guilty of anything, which makes this move by Alleva even worse.

There will be many many takers for his services next year if he is able to coach. He doesn't need LSU.

Joe Alleva is the worst PR/media narrative manager in the country.

WW is sleazy. King had no choice.

Bring back Brady as HC and Miles as AD

I stand with Will Wade. Alleva needs to take a hike already.

I'm pretty sure Wade is still on the payroll.
quote:


LSU president F. King Alexander and athletics director Joe Alleva said in a joint statement that the school has suspended Wade "until such time as we can ensure full compliance with the NCAA, as well as institutional policies and standards."

The positive is that it is the least incriminating evidence of ALLLLLL the other coaches and players who were doing the exact same thing.


That's like saying you are the fastest human running from a pride of hungry lions.

All this hate for Alleva regarding this is so fricking stupid. He doesn’t have the juice to make this decision. It’s way above his pay grade. Maybe even Alexander’s too.

The simple fact is Wade fricked up and got caught and put LSU in a horrible position. It sucks, but he is the one to blame for this.
Y’all’s anger is embarrassingly misplaced.

You serious? They have way more than the word "offer."

"The problem was, I know why he didn’t take it now, it was (expletive) tilted toward the family a little bit. It was tilted toward taking care of the mom, taking care of the kid. Like it was tilted towards that. Now I know for a fact he didn’t explain everything to the mom. I know now, he didn’t get enough of the piece of the pie in the deal.”


Still all speculative in a court of law. Enough for the NCAA to hammer you but not really much in court.




No one is saying that Wade is going to be convicted of any crime. But it's hard to explain his quotes as anything other than discussing monetary offers to a recruit and his family. Even though it's pretty clear that this is a wide-spread practice, Wade was caught on tape. Has he even denied that he was offering money to recruits and their families?

Depends on how the investigation goes. He's still under contract with LSU.

Hot take is hot. Not a single allegation from the NCAA yet we are suspending our coach when none of the other implicated programs are doing anything of the sort. Our administration is incompetent and has proven it time and again.

It really is. The administration knows far more than anyone posting here, and felt like this was necessary.

Something tells me you wouldn't agree with this small modification to your post.
