After LSU coach Will Wade's indefinite suspension from the school on March 8, FBI agents were in Baton Rouge investigating his recruiting tactics, multiple sources told Yahoo Sports. That included a Louisiana-based FBI agent active in Baton Rouge the following week, conducting in-person work regarding Wade.

The FBI made clear its interest was speaking specifically about Wade, according to a source. The FBI's interest in Wade's recruiting tactics could potentially signal an expansion in the federal basketball corruption case. An FBI agent who was in Baton Rouge declined comment when reached by Yahoo Sports. The agent referred questions to New Orleans field office public affairs specialist Craig Betbeze, who did not return multiple requests for comment. Nicholas Biase, spokesman for the Southern District of New York, declined comment.

Yeah this doesn’t make any fricking sense. Why would the FBI care about Wade’s recruiting tactics?

In addition I’m wondering if Joe Alleva has his balls cuffed. Second report in 2 days that Munson has commented and not Alleva, which is unusual.

quote:

“If the FBI has been in town, we are not aware of it,” LSU senior associate athletic director Robert Munson said in a statement. “The University has not been contacted.”


Munson gave a quote to Delly yesterday as well. Either Joe is on his way out or he’s had his public relations responsibilities stripped (finally).

Seems like an irresponsible use of federal resources.

Shouldn’t the FBI be more concerned about other things than worry about what a college basketball coach in Louisiana does?

Hopefully someone told Alleva to shut his stupid little mouth. Everything he has said and done has made this situation worse.

Ok, but that still doesn’t explain why they would care about Wade specifically.

Shouldn’t the FBI be worried about the $30M wasted on the Mueller report rather than college basketball?
