Everyone knows college football's greatest coach ever, Nick Saban, provides high paying jobs for family members of his 5-star recruits. It's not even debatable. Yet, you don't see reporters attacking Saban or questioning his character.

All I know about Will Wade is this. Will Wade can flat out coach, what I see is a great up and coming college basketball coach who is intense, intelligent, and who dissects defenses and offenses much like Saban does with football. Wade is great for college basketball, that is undeniable, ratings for any team LSU plays are surely through the roof. Hope to see Wade continue as LSU's basketball coach and make a similar run just like little Nick. That would be fantastic.

Will Wade went undefeated on the road in the SEC with a team of very young players. That's downright Saban-ish.

I really hope Wade pulls a Chizik and wins the whole thing.

That would effectively put an end to any potential threat of sanctions.

However he got the players here, you still have to coach talent (especially young talent like we have). We looked unimpressive and very mediocre early on, but you can see the development of this team.

WW enjoys mentoring young student athletes and, when appropriate, members of their immediate family. Not sure what the fuss is about.

I posted this on the rant. Idgaf if they vacate all our wins. This team played great basketball this year. I’m happy with the results. We should have “cheated” better.

Or, offered all the players “fake” classes to gets A’s. Apparently, that’s ok.

No one can argue. But.... a lot more to the story of how a team is put together.

This should surprise no one. A team that will at least tie for the regular season Championship after a 2 win SEC season just two year ago, is gonna be looked at .... deeply. Of guilty, he may have skated a few years earlier, but today, the FBI is in the middle of it all.

Let it play out & finish the season the way they have played the season.

A great point, and another reason for me to think he wouldn't risk such a lucrative career at early age.

They get greedy, shoot for the stars..way too quickly and it draws attention and upsets the established programs sense of place..kinda like the mafia..see Hugh Freeze

Unlike OM, at least we are going to get a conference championship out of the deal. You guys didn't even win the west.

Great seasons no doubt, but no titles.

It is debatable. I have no illusion of Saban being clean (I don't think he is), but until somebody has an audio of video tape it's not on the same level.

You would probably have 90% of college basketball fans deny this. Go to the SEC rant and take a poll.

I wonder what ratings for all LSU games are. Even the crappy games are close and entertaining.

I would simply ask them, how many coaches have gone undefeated on the road in the SEC with a freshmen team?

Your premise has nothing to do with the FBI investigation.
