You either fire him or roll with it.

From who?

I don't think it's as black and white as you paint it. If Alleva was any real kind of AD, he'd have called Wade like the friend he's supposed to be. It's not always business. Instead I'm sure it was a gestapo type interrogation he and F were after and Wade's lawyer wasn't going to send his client into the firing line.

Link??? I must have missed the NCAA making a ruling Mr. Judge and Jury.

C'mon man..
You don't think Alleva and Wade have discussed this repeatedly? Apparently the administration doesn't feel Wade has been honest.

The fact that anyone can defend Alleva and Alexander is unbelievable. These two are spineless vaginas who came the second there is any negative publicity. frick these two. Seriously

Do you think Alleva is a good AD outside of all of this?

They were well aware that Wade could not/would not talk to them at this point in them regarding this matter.

There's no need to defend them in this case. Wade made his decision.

What do you think they are doing
Wade is suspended indefinitely, not fired.

Wade is the one in the corner. He has been caught on tape negotiating with a thug pushing recruits. While not proven guilty of anything yet, he refuses to discuss this with his boss.

They had better hope their accusations are correct, if so, good decision. If they are wrong, how does Wade ever trust them again. But, for now, we just don't know.
Well said. It's a lose/lose situation now. I don't see how Wade would want to continue working for an administration that's so quick to throw him under the bus. He may not quit right away, but you can bet that he will tell his agent to find him a job elsewhere. In the end. Alleva and KIng will do whatever makes them look the best.

This assumes King and Alleva aren’t shite bags who only care about their own image. That’s a terrible assumption.

Wade has more leverage/power than this board or the media realize.
All those coaches in the "brotherhood" who supposedly hate him are not sleeping well these days and probably won't for some time.
If Wade decides to sing, it's all over for all the bluebloods. Not just LSU. Perhaps even the NCAA wouldn't survive it if enough is exposed.
If Wade goes down, they all go down.
This is the best perspective I've read so far. The "sleazy" middlemen allegedly shopping recruits have no market power if there aren't multiple coaches/programs to call on.
If they decide to take down LSU, the NCAA/ESPN/March Madness basketball cash cow would crumble when all of the dust settles on the estimated 50+ coaches and programs involved.
The greed built into the system wouldn't have it.
What bothers me the most is LSU/Alleva/King have put us out there as willing to fall on the sword first.
Incredibly misguided and asinine!

I agree with your statement on face value. However, not being able to discuss a federal court case against someone else, does not keep Wade from coaching. J&F knew exactly what was going on, and are using this as a convenient excuse to distance themselves from Wade while things happen.
These two absolute clowns are worried about optics of reporters. Newsflash: reporters do not decide guilt of innocence. Wait for evidence is what I think they should have done. If J&F think that these suspensions will have any positive affect IF the ncaa does any sort of actual investigation, is foolish. Besides, when is the last time the ncaa did something in a timely fashion? IF the ncaa wants to dig up dead bodies, it will be years from now.
Effectively, what these suspensions show is a willingness to accept guilt without proof, and jump on the hand grenade for all of the people involved here.
