LSU is digging in on not paying Wade the remaining $10 million

But his contract lists a set of duties and responsibilities, one of which is: “Cooperating fully in any investigation of possible NCAA or SEC violations conducted or authorized by LSU, the SEC, or the NCAA at any time.”

In response to an inquiry from the USA TODAY Network, LSU spokesman Ernie Ballard wrote that Wade’s “contract provisions require him to cooperate under these circumstances and he has not thus far.”

While school officials are not eager for a contractual showdown with Wade, the school’s general counsel, Thomas Skinner, said via Ballard: “It is not unlawful or illegal for Wade to talk to us at all. He has the right not to incriminate himself in a criminal proceeding (the so-called Fifth Amendment privilege), but he does not have the right not to meet with his employer.”

This basically means the university is following the procedures in Wade’s contract that are required for it to have the option of firing him for cause. The agreement says the school can fire Wade for cause for “unreasonably refusing or repeatedly failing to perform any duties … after written notice to coach of LSU's reasonable expectation.”

Wade also can be fired for cause for “knowingly committing material or repeated significant violations of any provision of this agreement,” provided that those initial violations are not resolved within 10 days of Wade being notified of the violations.

This Part: “unreasonably refusing or repeatedly failing to perform any duties … after written notice to coach of LSU's reasonable expectation.”

The issue will be if it’s “unreasonable” or not for Wade to speak with the Administration?. They claim they don’t want a fight over contractual issues but this entire article is nothing but threats toward Wade to appear and answer question. They also site the 10 Days from notification where Wade must respond or is in breach of contract.

Sooooo is this enough room for cause?
