His old attorney probably made Wade pick up the bill at ruffinos the other night.

I think it was stupid for him to not meet with them. Had to be purely about saving his arse with his contract.

This is the only reasonable conclusion. People believe what they want. I guess people expect LSU to bail Wade out (they can’t) and don’t think he was paying players A LOT. He was recorded talking to a soon to be felon. The in investigations to come could be endless and could screw basketball long term and bleed into football and other sports.

Joe Alleva is still to blame and still needs to he fired posthaste.

All you little fricking trolls can go report back to him that his latest stunt didn't work and everyone still hates him.

There is no scenario under which Alleva's actions are justified. None. And there never will be, regardless of how many of you $8/hour dipshits he hires to troll and propagate his bullshite.

it's not popular, but it's rational... and correct.

But this board is 10:1 against you, which is really sad.

Well, first off, Wade’s previous attorney tried to set up a meeting with the LSU admin.
Wow, that narrative has moved a bit.

Originally it was Alleva, Alexander and Wade had agreed to meet thane the compliance department insisted on attending with an NCAA rep on the phone at which point Wad decided to decline the meeting based on the advice of his attorney.

I'm not sure what to believe anymore.

Alleva & Co have been lying about most everything from the start.

I am inclined to view this with heavy skepticism for multiple reasons.

Keep in mind this wasn't a legitimate news story today. It was a preas release by Joe Alleva.

If he is punished for some reason and he was let got, the school shouldn't receive as harsh a punishment as it would if he was never suspended.

Serious question - is there any real-world evidence of the NCAA rewarding programs for being open and honest? I’m not saying it’s never happened, just wondering if anyone can give an example.

On the other hand, I can think of several programs that have been rewarded in the long run by telling the NCAA to kick rocks. See: UNC basketball, Auburn football.

And I can think of tons of programs that have arguably received worse punishment due to their cooperation with the NCAA. See: Ole Miss football, Missouri football, Kansas basketball.

TL;DR: I think you’re wrong.

Possibly. I guess that’s why he is making the change.


Im going with probably.

He can answer simple questions without jeapardizing himself or LSU.

Even when self reported and self sanctioned in football, LSU compliance probably went harder on LSU than the NCAA would have.

Correct me if I am wrong. Has there been any true evidence? All we have is a transcript that Yahoo Sports put out. No one has heard the wiretaps. How do we know that they didn't make it up or insert things to make it sound worse than it is? You know how the media is now. They aren't held accountable. Plus, if they never release the tapes, we will never know. Wade made comments before that he is confident that when all the evidence comes out, he will be cleared. I wouldn't put it past Yahoo Sports to make it up to get hits. They were probably after him as soon as he was bringing in big time recruits before he ever coached a game here. The trial is for Dawkins. Wade is only there to testify. He is not on trial. Am I wrong?

Look, I'm not trying to justify how the LSU administration reacted. But with Wade and his new attorney seemingly changing position on meeting with the admin
There are a dozen reasons Wade's attorney, could be changing tack. NONE OF THEM JUSTIFY HOW THE ADMINISTRATION ACTED.

You knew he had bad representation when someone let Wade put out that statement about how he should be able to coach again

It’s fascinating seeing some of y’all seriously believing everyone you disagree with is a troll directed personally by Alleva (and Orgeron during football season) to work as foot soldiers on the rant

I think everyone should realize this is no different than any other settlement. Both parties have moved. WW is not to blame .

He should be commended for trying to find a way to resolve this. As should the admins. The admins overreacted by suspending and stonewalled through the tourney. Bad look to move during the tourney. Now it’s a bit easier for them. So they move.

WW gets some news on how pearl handled it and calls in another guy who can guide lsu through it and lsu gains confidence ....

Settlement 101. Both parties moved
