If Wade then refused to speak with them and they did nothing in response

I guess this is where our vaunted compliance department stepped in

imo….LSU had to suspend him or face possible SEC and NCAA tourney sanctions.

Wasn't it Nancy Pelosi who admitted they planted stories in the News Media (Yahoo) then referenced the story they planted to justify their actions. Maybe Dawkins team of attorneys are using the same tactic in order to try and weaken the effect of Wade's testimony.

He's only a possible witness.

He's likely not to testify at all. Just like the first trial that convicted the same defendant.

He got subpoena in next trial by same defense in their misguided effort to distract from actual illegal activity.

FBI criminal trial =/= NCAA anything.

Will Wade right now is being punished more severely by LSU Admin, due to media, than the actual criminals.

It's fricking insane.

This statement tells me that Will Wade is confident he will be exonerated of any wrong doing once all the facts come to light. It also tells me these media reports were taken out of context. The wire tap conversations are incomplete and vague. People just assume he was referring to money. When Wade is exonerated of any wrong doing all these media and any fans who have jumped on the ban Wade wagon can suck it. Apology's will not be accepted!!!

He's still under a lengthy contract


Means nothing if they fire him for cause.

That being said, there's more to this than what Yahoo reported and I stand with CWW.

Wade is staying. He loves LSU too much to leave.

Who's got the authority to determine whether or not he stays?

Yes, he is staying ..... for how long? Damn, it does not look good for his survival.

Yes, love the guy, a great coach, leader & motivator, but.......

This will get ugly before it is over I am afraid.

hate the administration as much as anyone, but if wade wouldn’t meet with them under the advice of his legal counsel, they had absolutely no choice but to suspend him no matter if they believe him or not. If they didn’t suspend him after that, and even one small thing is true, you are talking lack of institutional control and a fricking death sentence. I still hate alleva but it’s the only choice.


Which is why you don't even ask for the meeting. They gave themselves no choice but to suspend him once they asked him to come in and answer their questions.

They asked for the meeting for optics.

Wade shows with lawyer. Says nothing but wait for the facts.

Meeting over.

Nothing happens. His actions forced their hands.

LSU handled this in a very typical LSU way.

That doesn't make it the only way, and it damn sure doesn't make it the best way

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"
