Rabalais "I doubt it will come to that"

The Advocate's Rabalais "I never thought athletic director Scott Woodward was enamored with Wade and all of the baggage he inherited with him in 2019, when Woodward took over the job. But I do think Woodward would have liked to let the case play out before deciding Wade’s fate." NCAA's Complex Case Unit basically finds that LSU is open to the much-dreaded charge of “lack of institutional control.”

“It is alleged that from February 2012 to June 2020, the scope and nature of the violations … demonstrate that the institution failed to exercise institutional control and monitor the conduct and administration of its football and basketball programs,” the NOA reads.

"That is exactly what no school ever wants to hear. In terms of the legalese and convoluted language the NCAA traffics in, this is about as harsh a condemnation as it gets. It's the kind of stuff that could penalize LSU’s two biggest programs for years. I doubt it will come to that. LSU has self-imposed some penalties on its football program. And it sent Wade packing once it had the NOA in hand, allowing LSU to fire Wade for cause."
