Yeah, about that. Not sure you understand what that means. FYI, they have no Louisiana players on the state flagship team So NO, the boot up sjit doesn't apply

Sure, but they don't have a right to work at any job they want, regardless of their qualifications. College athletics has a set of eligibility rules. That is effectively the same as required training or years of service in professional and trade jobs.
Not a lawyer but I don't think this is the same at all.
Also curious if/how Louisiana being a right to work state impacts this if at all.
Not all eligibility requirements are the same aka I need someone with x degree is not the same as I need a white person. I am not saying discriminating based on past experience is the same as racial discrimination but it isn't exactly requiring a degree or other work requirement related either
Objectively someone without x degree is not qualified to do the job. In this case the players are obviously qualified. So what is the discrimination based on the fact the worked for a competitive professional league? Well that is anti competitive no?

Blah blah blah...melt kid
I'm right. Yeah, wade said that gay shite, yes! Happy?
He was far from using "boot" to describe Louisiana or use it towards a recruiting descriptor
Thank God I'm not enough of a pussy to ever have seen that moron dress like he's some gift to humanity. He's scum...kinda like you

There's no reason to be mad. It's just that what a lot of us have been saying all along is coming true. College ball is no longer. What has taken its place is semipro ball with mercenary players. If you like, semi pro ball, fine.

Yes, my post was sarcasm. It's dumb the way people react to "pros" wanting to come back to college to play ball as if the college athletes aren't pros too.
The whole "amateur athlete" ship has sailed and it's not coming back. It's time we all treat these kids (young adults) like professionals.

The people who are "mad" at it currently aren't really mad at it. They're mad at who it is getting the players.
If this was someone like Calipari, Hurley or Pitino, they'd be talking about how smart it is of that coach to push the boundaries and go and get these players. If it was one of those coaches, they'd be talking about how great it is that they're helping these players come to the states and enroll in a university to potentially get their degree and set them up for success after basketball.
But it's not those coaches. it's Will Wade and LSU. A coach that left a somewhat decent "basketball school" to come way down south and coach a football school that should know it's place better when it comes to basketball. It's the fact that Wade has beat out some of the blue bloods for those same players.
Make no mistake, this isn't about the players. It's about Will Wade and LSU.

Correct. My post was sarcasm. Apparently some didn't get it or didn't read the whole thing. I edited my original post to clarify.

The wildness on X is unmatched about the hate on Wade assembling this team. Dude is trying to win. Its legal so what gives.

Yeah, I found it interesting the way Mascona framed it.
His take was if the NCAA rules these guys eligible, he's got no issue with it, but if we have to go to court to fight it then he'll be vocally in opposition - "if he's ineligible, that's it" was basically his stance.
I found that interesting because I don't think he applied that same litmus test to some other of the many issues the NCAA was taken to court for and lost?

Posted on 5/20/26 at 2:22 pm to Lsuhoohoo
I am in favor of his doing anything that could possibly be within the rules. Anything that our competitors have the right to do. Whether these guys will be eligible or not will be determined in due course.

This is what it is. It's sad that we are now fielding a team of paid players who have no affiliation with LSU and will have no love for LSU when they are gone. This is something I can not be a fan of. LSU has lost this alum and supporter. I hope this madness ends and we return to something I can have some pride in.

He has no clue about basketball has proved that over many years. Not only that throughout the entire McMahon tenure up until the day before the switch to Wade, McMahon personally and on orders wanted to keep McMahon over Wade. I’m not saying I know for sure but there’s enough evidence that Moscona does not understand at all or want Wade as a coach/ambassador for LSU. Moscona doesn’t dislike Wade the person or wish him bad success because that would mean the hand that feeds would do worse. But at every turn will downplay credit to any Wade success and try and build up McMahon or any other program. It’s just odd, I assume it goes back to when Jordy Cullotta left Guranty and took the amount of acces they had with him to his own thing, maybe has to do with that.

Oh I agree, basketball certainly appears to be his least favorite sport, he certainly spends much less time on it - he says it's because there is little interest and that's largely true here, but in the end yes I think his knowledge on basketball is less than the other sports, I think he'd probably agree.
I just thought his take on his support for LSU and WW in landing this one player would hinge on whether the NCAA rules him eligible or not and that if LSU fought that in court he'd be very much opposed to that......that if the NCAA rules the player ineligible that should be it.
As if the NCAA hasn't been taken to court and beaten on lot's of ineligibility questions in the past - that he has been in full support of.
I'm sure he'd explain his perceived differences but I'm not sure I'd buy them.
