It’s literally not. This is from a separate interview with the AP

quote:

During a later interview with The Associated Press, Wade also refused to use today’s changed climate in the sport — with allegations of payments tied to Wade’s LSU ouster essentially legal now with college athletes allowed to profit from their fame — as a pass. “That to me is a cop-out,” Wade told the AP. “When I was doing that, it was illegal. Just because it’s legal now doesn’t mean it was the right thing to do then. And I think that’s the way that some people rationalize some things, but that’s not the reality of what it was. It wasn’t right to do then and, you know, I paid for it.”

Full transcript from his press conference. He did speak about being arrogant when he was younger, etc but that’s clearly not the same quote that is included in the AP article

If you still want to deny that the reporter was being dishonest with the direct quote from Wade, then I can’t help you but don’t act like it was something paraphrased from his press conference

What exactly do you think "it" and "that" refer to?
You have to understand some nuance here.

"Illegal" would mean "against the rules" of the governing body. There is nothing illegal or criminal that Wade did.

He would be a witness in an bribery case and separately, being extorted. There is nothing illegal about his choices (not saying they were great), but no one was coming to arrest Wade.

Ya, nothing happened.

That’s why everyone was running to hire him after he was fired by LSU. Lmao

Why would anyone make that bet?

NC state has made the S16 fourteen times, most recently just 2 years ago. Before that it was 2015

LSU has only made the S16 ten times, last time being 6 years ago. Before that it was 2006

You don’t even know what a transcript is. I feel bad now, I didn’t realize how ignorant you were.

It was in the link I provided for you. I know two different links probably confused you.

I’ll relink it for you here, don’t spread lies Madking.

Fair. I’m not sure where that lands in current landscape for your takes.

But adjust my proposal to something agreeable to you. I’ll listen.

I’ve already watched the press conference and the comments in question weren’t part of it. You just posted the same thing the OP did but you thought it was part of the press conference lol. Sorry none of what you posted is new

I’ve been pretty clear recently that I’m not convinced McMahon will even be here after next year.

Clearly not interested in making any bets between LSU’s program & NC State’s currently. They are on two very different trajectories

Comprehension must be challenging for you. I’m not doing the Madking schtick tonight

There are multiple quotes from 2 different sources.

The press conference (which I provided a link to the transcript) & an AP article from a separate interview (which I also provided a link to). Sorry if you have a hard time discerning where the quotes are coming from

This is what happens all the time.

So much talking and never back it up.

I’m volleyball’ing you to give me a thing that you can stand behind and have something invested instead of bullshite.

Sorry for enjoying winning and the conversations I personally had with him after games. Oh… and how the players played under him.

That dude would have no clue you brought your daughter to the OM game earlier in the season and y'all were looking so forward to it.

We don't agree on all MBB topics, but some don't care at all.

They bring nothing.

He should still be the LSU coach. All Woodward had to do was give him the same 10-game ban that McNeese did, and he could've stayed on.

But no, the fat boy's ego got in the way and he wanted to hire his own coach. How's that working out for him?
