The meeting that was never mentioned publicly until after the suspension was for optics?

They could've said anything about the meeting

"We met coach Wade and we ate ice cream after he gave us his side. Until the NCAA investigates we will still be eating ice cream"


Exactly and Wade did the one thing that was a bad move

Then you might want to tell Wade it's just for optics too. If you're going to half arse it, which I'd condone, you might want to make sure everyone involved is aware.

At this level everyone is supposed to know the rules. You aren't paid millions a year and only expected to win bouncy ball games

Went through 5 pages and didn’t see anyone mention this. Don’t have time to go through all 10 just thought this needed to be highlighted.....

That quote to the players tells me that he wasn’t allowed to go talk to them.



Yup.

frick Alleva and the rest of the administration.

I’d support the players going to the AD and saying they don’t play until Wade is back.

I'm not sure there is anything that really requires a statement of innocence at this point.


If you’re innocent it doesn’t matter, because there is nothing to hide

He just got suspended & he’s issuing statements. Of course if you were truly innocent you would take the time to say it. He wouldn’t even sit in the same room as his bosses.

Exactly.

Take the meeting and say nothing but "please wait for all the facts to come out"

Then everybody still looks like they're playing ball and "doing things"

Wade will be fired within the week

LSU will forfeit all wins this season.

We will pray John Brady comes back

This is likely the worst take ever.

Like Mike Pressler did?

How’d that work out for him?

There is zero good reason to do this now.

If LSU is in a bad spot (and from a distance it looks like they are) you lay low and address this in the off-season.

But you don’t shoot yourself in the foot in the middle of the season. That alone will do as much damage to the program as anything that will come from finishing the season and then taking action.

This is a simple cost benefit analysis. What do we gain by acting now? What do we lose?

Innocent of what? To come out and say you didn't pay players is basically confirming that it sounds like you're paying players.

Regardless, to ask people to withhold judgment clearly implies you're not guilty.
