You baws need to start emailing the Board of Supervisors to voice your displeasure with the LSU AD and President. Here's their email addresses.

Suspend for vandy and reinstate following internal investigation. The investigation entails watching the UK game again.

Is Joe Alleva also suspending himself? Only seems fair. How do we know he wasn’t involved in anything? Equal proof of both paying players.

Alleva needs to hold a press conference and give his reasons for the suspension. He better have hard evidence for suspending the coach that he hired. WW has done a great job, and has great fans support. If he did this out of fear, he needs to be fired today!

Maybe Wade told Alleva and King he was guilty.




I think they know he is guilty. But they need to find a way to skate it. I think suspending Wade is pretty standard, esp with the media pressure. shite, this could just last 1 game. Everyone is freaking out over nothing at this point.

"I was thinking last night on this Smart thing," Wade told Dawkins during one of the calls. "I'll be honest with you, I'm (expletive) tired of dealing with the thing. Like I'm just (expletive) sick of dealing with the (expletive). Like, this should not be that (expletive) complicated.

"Dude," Wade continued during the call, "I went to (the handler) with a (expletive) strong-arse offer about a month ago. (Expletive) strong.

"The problem was, I know why he didn't take it now, it was (expletive) tilted toward the family a little bit," Wade said. "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."

"It was a (expletive) hell of a (expletive) offer," Wade continued. "Hell of an offer. ... Especially for a kid who is going to be a two- or three-year kid."

In a different telephone call with Dawkins, Wade joked that the player would be compensated more than the "rookie minimum."

Wade told Dawkins that he had made deals for "as good of players as him" that were "a lot simpler than this."
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that some people can read these quotes, give Wade the benefit of the doubt, and blame Joe Alleva for suspending him. Unbelievable.

I think 3 failed basketball hires is more than enough to warrant the axe.

THIS!! If they run him out of BR, he'll land at a small school and his next stop will be at a major university. Probably Bama.

Why run off the best LSU bball coach we've ever had. For what? To look good? To placate journalists?

Official statement from Joe Alleva and F. King begins with "Recent media reports". fricking pathetic and disgusting. Alleva clearly acted on "recent media reports" when HE BROUGHT SHAME to Duke University over his total mishandling of the Duke Lacrosse scandal. Now he's doing the same to us. What an incompetent piece of garbage.

I want them both removed immediately. I will not give one more sent to my alma mater until we have competent people in those positions. Done.

Say Wade is guilty and they know it. What exactly does a one game suspension accomplish? What does any suspension accomplish?

If they knew he was guilty, he'd be fired.

This is a chickenshit moves that only shows they don't have his back. Nothing good can come from this suspension.

What idiots, what fricking idiots.

All F King and Alleva needed to do was sit on their hands and wait. But of course they bend over for Dick Saggy Balls Vitale and a bunch of national media hacks. Suspending Coach Wade is a bigger embarassment to the University than anything on the Wade tapes. Fact.

Told ya this was coming! It is going to get even uglier in the coming weeks/months, unfortunately. LSU knows what on those tapes and are now prepared for an ugly situation with the trial going forward. If the criminal defendands had copped a plea this wouldn't be an issue but now all of LSU's dirty laundry is about to be aired with respect to the Men's basketball team.

Fortunately, though as painful as this might be in the interim it will make life a lot easier with the NCAA next year.
