NCAA hypocrisy at it's finest.

They will never in 100 years give more than very minor infractions to their blue blood cash cows, but will impose devastating sanctions onto smaller programs in a heartbeat. The NCAA is a corrupt joke of an organization that need to end.


Kentucky was hit with scholarship reductions and othe rpenalties in the 80's

Kentucky is also implicated in the current FBI investigation

i hope everyone remembers the absolute worst consequence of all of this is we will just go back to sucking. which most of us are used to. i commend coach wade for doing what it takes to win. he was reckless talking on the phone and it might be his undoing, but i am so thankful IF he did pay these great players to come to LSU. it's been a fun year.


Agreed. I'd rather exciting seasons with vacated wins over that shite product Johnny Jones put on the court.

This seems like such an odd tape for Dawkins to use in defense of his corruption charges. A tape that makes clear that the middleman was not satisfied with Wade's "offer" and demanded a bigger piece of the pie.

I suppose Dawkins is trying to show how rampant corruption is in college basketball and that it was the coaches driving the boat, but from this phone call it seems as if it was Dawkins and his cronies setting the price and holding the players ransom.


He is trying to prove he did not commit bribery. I don't know how the tapes execute this defense but I'm sure it relies on saying the entire system is built upon players receiving $ and that his actions were in no way an effort to shortcut that system.

Yahoo report: Wiretap reveals Wade discussed recruiting 'offer' with middleman Posted by Broski online on 3/7/19 at 12:02 pm



I want to know where the wire tap is with Saban offering money, because I damn well know he's paying players.

“The strong arse offer I was talking about was playing time. There is only so much pie to go around when it comes to playing time. All these guys are trying to get to the NBA you see”.

Can still be sidestepped is all I am saying.

Duke/Zion would be perfect for LSU as it would completely overshadow Wade/LSU in the media if more people started talking about it and writing about it.



I'd love to get LBC Jay Williams' thoughts on this...

You really think Saban would talk about this over the phone?

Personally, I don't give a shite if Wade offered the kid money. I hope y'all don't get hammered, but talking directly to this Dawkins guy on the phone was a rookie move.

Right, but it seems odd he would be using a tape on which it's clear Wade's offer was not satisfactory and Dawkins wanted more. I haven't followed the underlying case much, so I'm not sure of the particulars, but it just seems like the tape would be bad for Dawkins if anything.

Dale Brown fought and embarrassed the NCAA for years

Yes he did.

and they still hate us for it

Probably at the time yes, I doubt a single person who was there during that time even works there anymore. Unless they were a gofer in the mail room at the time. So no, I doubt the NCAA has a hate list that they still adhere to.

As long as Brown is alive and maybe even after the NCAA will have it out for LSU basketball.

Grassy Noll or from the drain on the street?

NCAA doesn't need real evidence. This isn't a court of law.

Didn't the NCAA recently change their rules where they can use testimony in other court cases for the their cases against schools? Also I believe if they ask for information and you fail to provide it they can use that as a sign of guilt.

The FBI doesn't ask you to come testify if they don't already know the answers and have proof of the questions they are going to ask.

Talking about doing something and doing it are 2 completely different things. Anyone who thinks he's "gone" because of this doesn't know what they are talking about. had more on dale back in the 80's. One of his coaches gt caught with a suitcase full of money.
