This wire tap is proof of nothing


It’s against NCAA rules to even offer extra benefits. The wiretap is extraordinarily damning.

You may be right but there was no reason to force the issue until the end of the season. If there is NCAA trouble, it’s not going to be alleviated by suspending Wade before the postseason.


How the administration handles this from the point it became aware of the issue directly impacts the severity of the upcoming NCAA sanctions.

What extra benefits were offered? Be specific, should be extraordinarily easy to list...

The NCAA AND the administration became aware of it over a year ago. Suspending Wade now only makes LSU look guilty. It was the dumbest thing the administration could do.

For all you know he is cooperating with people far more powerful than his bosses.

Wade has much, much more leverage than anyone here seems to realize.

When all is said and done, Wade may say 'frick this place' and leave. When you know your boss doesn't have your back, you may look elsewhere unless the boss changes

Play naive my arse, list the extra benefits that were offered...

You can't because there was not a fricking word said about extra benefits. An "offer" damn strong or run of the mill happens with EVERY scholarship athlete. Every fricking one.

Piece of the pie easily refers to playing time, design of offense, etc...

Cam Newton father was irrefutably paid $200k to go to Auburn and all Cam had to say was I didn't know to end his 2 hour suspension and the whole thing went away while Cam went on to win the National Championship and the Heisman, if I remember correctly...

Wade turned his back on the team.

Wade isn't going anywhere unless he's fired. He's under contract for another 5 years I believe. He's untouchable until this is straightened out.

Refusing to talk to the BoS and cooperate with LSU's own investigation.

Wade knew the risk.

“ Wade turn his back on the team”

LSU put Wade in a no-win situation and he followed the advice of his counsel.

It’s a case of action and reaction. LSU didn’t have to do that for the final regular season game of the year. The fact that they did is simply another example of poor leader ship on the part of the LSU administration.

Three former Duke players literally settled for $20 million each.

60. Million. Dollars.

And then Joe Alleva was not only considered here... but hired?!?!

It’s still baffling to me. LSU fricked up way back then and we’re paying for it now.

“Wade put LSU”

I don’t know the full extent of what Wade did or didn’t do, neither do you, and neither does anyone else. What I do know is that the timing of all this was directed by the LSU a ministration and not the LSU basketball coach

Does Wade have to answer questions directed to him by his bosses? Of course. Did these questions need to come in the week of the final game of the season? Of course not.

The timing of this meeting rest completely on the backs of the A.D. and the rest of the LSU a ministration.

I totally disagree. The BoS and University officers have a duty to protect LSU, not protect Will Wade.

It's very obvious Wade's objective here is to save his own arse and keep drawing a paycheck, not protect LSU.

“ have a duty to protect LSU.”

What exactly did they protect LSU from by scheduling this meeting a few days before the final game of the regular season? What they in fact did was make LSU the news of the week in a negative way and took the spot light away from a SEC championship. How can that be seen in anyway as protecting?

Furthermore, Joe doesn’t exactly have a squeaky clean record for protecting those under his command.
