Is it an infraction to talk about a bribe (talking shite) or do they have evidence he actually offered a bribe? Really asking because I haven’t followed.

It is an NCAA rules infraction to "make an offer." The significance of the FBI wiretap is it contains WW's "confession" of an offer.

Every coach makes scholarship offers.

So you’re talking shite.

Saying you made an “offer” alone isn’t confessing ahit.

There is just as credible suspicions against Zion and Duke but the NCAA is digging through their garbage.

Do we know this to be a fact, or are you just saying this as your opinion?

Not taking a "side." It is clear that WW cheated (he admitted to unethical behavior on the FBI wiretap). Did you hear WW's voice on the HBO special? HE SAID HE MADE THE OFFER(S). THAT is a violation of NCAA rules. You don't have to have a cancelled check because "making" the offer is enough!

If Wade's conduct ends up hurting the football program, even is blindly loyal legion of fan boys will turn on him.

You mean like a law suit claiming he wasn’t eligible to play for Duke?

Credibility is always an opinion. But the allegations are out there and the NCAA isn’t doing shite.

You are in fact taking a side.

You have to make an offer of an impermissible benefit.

It’s legal to offer a scholarship, a chance to play in front of your family, a chance to play for your home state, a chance to win SEC championships, all the academic assistance LSU provides it athletes and more.

You can even legally call that a strong arse offer.

Maybe the NCAA has more, but it’s your OPINION that he is talking about offering something impermissible.

So they don’t have to have any evidence that an offer of impermissible benefits was actually made; the alleged confession could be enough? What if he was just talking shite?

how do you know? show your evidence

you have no evidence to the contrary and the available evidence is pretty good that they are. again, you're just being obtuse and acting like a bratty teenage girl

you linked a story that has no proof much less an admission by wade himself that he cheated. it's just a statement.

If you think WW is not talking about a bribe
it can't be proven that it is. it's amazing you don't understand that. moreover, lsu was one of several schools recording in such conversations, including some blue bloods. so you seem to think the ncaa is just going to crash cbb. do you think the schools don't have dirt on each other? it will become a free for all and the ncaa knows they're the ones responsible for letting things get where they are

It's a difficult nuance, for sure. They don't need to prove he gave an impermissible benefit and prove that he offered an impermissible benefit. Offering an impermissible benefit is in itself an infraction. I am not sure they have any evidence on providing an impermissible benefit, but they could decide that "strong arse offer" is enough to say he admitted to offering an impermissible benefit.

It sounds like this new hearing board is trying to formalize the evidence/burden of proof process. Previously, the NCAA could basically decide what was and was not an infraction with little to know evidence.

Now you’re going from fact to opinions

You’re delusional if you think there are clean programs out there winning games.

This is what I was drilling down to. I mean, do they even have proof he actually made a “strong arse offer” to anyone? Do they need proof or is just saying you did an infraction? People talk shite all the time.
