How the FU€k can you post that much

For someone that does any of the following it wouldn't be hard over a 16 year period.
- Obviously a blogger
- IT work where you're constantly on a computer. I did a lot of posting doing that.
- People that work from home and set there own hours.
- Anyone that works for themselves and wants to post that much.
- A disabled person. I only say that because one of my favorite posters on the Movie/TV board has made that known.
- Smart phones give people so much access now that it's easy to post anywhere at anytime. This is how I've been posting for at least the last 6 years or so.

He wants he and his legal council to meet with only Alleva and Alexander. I think that’s a very fair request.

This post here proves you are posting to drive traffic, and dammit, I just fell for it again!

What is he guilty of exactly? Last I checked, they’re only hear-say allegations.

I don’t either. Would come with a resignation & a settlement between the 2 parties, tho

They don't have enough, right now, to try to force his hand to resign with a negotiated buyout either. Yes, the provision is in his contract, no one denies that. But if Wade discusses this matter after trial with whomever, then no one at LSU is going to try to use only that provision to terminate him for cause or to force his hand to resign. Wade has no incentive right now to agree to such terms either. If LSU has any intentions on firing Wade, it's not going to be pursuant to that provision but rather it will be if information comes out later he did, in fact, definitively cheat and they can prove it. Whether or not you think it's likely he did cheat is irrelevant. The burden will be much higher than your inclination (on a limited set of facts currently) if the Courts get involved.

Well yea, they don't actually want to fire him right now. It doesn't mean that they can't, though. You're making black & white clause seem open ended. Of course Wade's team would argue his case, but in the end the contract he signed says pretty plainly that is grounds for firing with cause. In fact, if you read the screen shots i posted a few pages back, the same thing is almost written 3-4 different ways. Wade signed this. He's obligated to comply.

Nothing will come of it unless Wade's camp tries to force LSU's hand again, which would be stupid. It will play out like you said, and if he's guilty of something, then he is gone. If he talks to LSU and is cleared, he comes back.

Before the last back and forth I thought he’d be back for sure. Now I’m leaning to 70-30 gone. Not even bc of a show cause. I think the relationship could be irreparably damaged unless Alleva and King go

If he doesn't testify he will come back. If he is fired, done see how Alleva survives

Too many movers/shakers in the LA political scene and in TAF want this to happen for it to plausibly not happen.

It's not if, but when.

*I'm not basing that solely on Lipsey either. He is a major part of it, but he's not alone.

I'm a outsider here, but I don't see how Wade could possibly work under the current LSU Compliance team any longer either. Those cats are savage and they'd make his life a living hell, including every assistant on Wade's staff.

I'm just hoping "when" is within the next month...and not sometime next year.

The public antipathy towards this administration is currently at a boiling point. It would be wise to get this done now instead of waiting for things to quiet down.

Just my opinion, but Wade has coached his last game at LSU.

because they aren't black and white provisions. That's the point. It is argumentative what a material breach is and whether his actions have been unreasonable. Those are not black and white provisions and weren't intended to be.

I did Everything I have said in reference to those provisions posted.

I know you want them to be black and white so you can be correct, but they just aren't. If they were intended to be black and white, those aforementioned terms wouldn't be written how they are. They would have plainly stated that if he refuses a meeting with his employers for any reason whatsoever within 10 days that it would constitute grounds for firing (there wouldn't be language regarding reasonableness)...or that any breach of any of the terms of the contract would constitute grounds (the term material would have been omitted). But that's not what the contract says or was intended to mean.

This is what happens when a lay person (yourself) tries to play lawyer. All words have meaning and words such as those previously mentioned are up for interpretation and argument. They are intentionally discretionary for situations just like this.

I think the longer Wade can string it out, the better for him. Which is why i found it weird he wanted to start insisting he coach again. If he can make it until the season ends, i think that will bode well for him. Less pressure from either side.

I think if he clears I think they can all get along. People think Will Wade is upset, but i think he realizes why he is in the position he is in, and he doesn't have any wiggle room to be upset at other people. Now another good season next year, and you better give him a pay raise or then he'd have reason to start looking into other options.

I hope you're wrong.

I'd like to think that if something happens soon maybe it can be worked out. That might be the fan and optimist in me thinking though.

I think if he does survive, he won't coach at LSU for very long. He is going to go somewhere that will support him.

most things are argumentative I am not denying that. Still, you revert back to the clause and that is the basis of any argument. With everything you've read in his contract, you don't think someone can put together a better argument for the LSU side based on what both parties signed at the time of his employment, and based on what has transpired thus far? I do.

Lets get back to the original tweet...did the radio station just do this to get clicks?

I was really starting to think they were meeting today and something was going to come out.
