“After talking to my staff we have had no contact from the NCAA regarding any irregularities,” LSU athletic director Joe Alleva told Yahoo Sports on Sunday.

Good god. This clown had to specifically ask his staff if they'd been contacted about any irregularities?

even if nothing comes of this, LSU absolutely has to fire Alleva. he hired a basketball coach under investigation in the middle of the biggest NCAA scandal of all time with his school already being looked at for past infractions.

The NCAA wants to lump as many programs and coaches they can in with the major coaches and programs they know are in trouble in order to dilute the severity of what these blue blood programs have done.

LOL. This, kids, is called P&G-colored glasses.

You have no clue whether it’s “nothing” or “something.”

Exactly, Miss State made a huge jump in recruiting when they hired Ben Howland. Tennessee made a jump with Barns, this happens literally all the time.

Big difference jumping that high in football vs shooty hoops. 2 players can put you in the top 10 in shooty hoops where as 2 top players won't get you shite in football rankings.

So Wade signed a kid from Baton Rouge and a kid who's girlfriend had committed to LSU, right?

Why is it so crazy to think that just happened and then when you get 2 studs like that, other kids want to come?

Reread the article. This “investigation” started after Wade was hired at LSU.

The agent scandal didn’t break until well after Wade was hired. There was no indication any former LSU player was involved until a a few days ago.

If the NCAA is investigating Wade, it’s because an SEC coach sent them some accusations.

Pat Forde is a hack. Those who can do, those who can't write for Yahoo.

I'm not a Wade fan, but Yahoo and the NCAA can go f themselves over this. I don't believe for one second that Wade is unethical.

Having THAT many number 1 classes should be a red flag regardless of how well your team is performing. That many number 1 classes in a row has never been done before by any school.

If you don't think Bama is cheating it's arse off and being allowed to get away with it, I don't know what to tell you.

Have these f*ckfaces looked into why Bama had about a 10-year run of #1 recruiting classes in football and why the whole Dodge Charger thing is so common knowledge that college football fans always joke around about it?

I don't really see anything coming of this. Being a close follower of Baylor basketball, the NCAA did the same thing when Scott Drew started bringing highly ranked recruiting classes to Waco. They investigated their basketball program year after year and didn't find anything other than Drew sending more text messages to recruits than was allowed at the time.

Probably some SEC coaches pissed at Wade's success and got the NCAA involved. Every school cheats, but as detailed of a person Wade seems to be, I'm sure he covered his tracks well and nothing major will come of it. Rest of the conference is scared.

If they couldn't find anything on Scott Drew, Will Wade could hand a player a briefcase full of money during a game and get away with it.

Could be. God help them if they had beaten Bama for the NC.

Yep lol. Sounds like some scared coaches called the NCAA and raised their eyebrows with some allegations, but over six months worth of stalking the man has turned up nothing. Get ready to bend over SEC. We going in dry next year
