With NIL being what it is today,would Woody still have fired Will Wade if it happened now?

I mean everything is so open about paying players now. Did Woody jump the gun?

Did he have a crystal ball and know this is how things would be?

Oh look, this topic again!

Wade broke the rules at the time. Whether the rule was changed later is irrelevant.

It's still against the rules for a coach to pay a player's baby momma from his wife's checking account.

do you think he was/is the only coach doing this? Also do think other AD’s know about and just look the other way?

Wade was a Tard for doing it how he did and when he did. The ones crying about it years later while not supporting the current team are obviously complete Tards.

He never was the only coach doing it. He just did it so stupidly that it was impossible to miss. If we kept WW long enough he might have been able to surpass Dale Brown in wasting NBA talent at LSU.

Sure, until it was made public.

If you read between the lines at the time, it was clear the NCAA staffers on the case told LSU they would go easy on the school but Wade had to go.

I didn’t want Wade to lose his job but you can’t lie to your bosses and refuse to work with them on the situation. That’s fireable 100/100 times in any line of work

As usual, great point!!!!!!

Because NO ONE ELSE BESIDES WADE HAS EVER CHEATED TO SIGN ELITE BASKETBALL PLAYERS TO THEIR SCHOOL.

Coach gay at puke, coach cal, Pitino, all clean as a whistle. But not that big bad meanie Will Wade!!!

Wade didn’t get fired for arranging for players to get paid. Hope this helps.

Even with NIL, the coaches are not paying the players with the money coming out of their bank accounts. Wade was an idiot who left that paper trail leasing back to him. To answer the question : no Scott did not jump the gun. Also let's move on. He is not the coach.
