Yahoo report re: Wade wiretap discuss IN THIS THREAD
Just read this. This looks really bad.

ETA: I want to clarify this for some of you. There can be no disputing that it “looks bad“. It looks like he paid a player. I am not disputing the provability of any of this, or what the final result will be. But you are mistaken if you don’t think this looks poorly for our coach.


I think he paid a lot of players. He only got caught this time though.

Wade is a hero here.

Helping the feds to put away bad men preying on kids. Coach Wade has had nothing but an impeccable reputation and there is absolutely no accusations by feds or NCAA.

You would be wrong, it was considered committing fraud against the university in the previous prosecutions of coaches. The coaches were paid salaries by the universities with the understanding that their sports program would be operated under applicable NCAA rules. Paying players exposed the university to NCAA violations, possible fines, and loss of the sports program, and associated revenue.


I never once heard Wade say, money would be exchanged?

No money was ever paid and this kid never even came?

I think worst case the NCAA slaps LSU with a scholarship reduction out of the ordeal to show face that they are being “proactive” and “cracking down” whether they have anything or not. But like others have said, all the evidence is circumstantial. The articles calling for LSU to fire WW or impose their own post season ban is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read and would be the biggest admission of guilt out there. THAT would have the NCAA swarming LSU to find out everything they knew...

The NCAA is the worst organization on the planet. ISIS. Nazis. Bama fans. They all pale in comparison to the NCAA. at least the aforementioned groups were forthright in their goals/ideals. The NCAA claims to want to protect student athletes. If they imposed a ban or whatever on all the universities that were concerned with (and willing to do what it took in) putting a multimillion dollar "product" on the floor/field there would be no more money. no more "amatuer" athletes/athletics. no more anything. It would simply be what it is today. except athletes could get paid what they are worth.. like.. you know.. any other situation in the entire fricking world except when you are going to school for free.

That being said. There is no evidence of anything here besides a discussion about some stuff that is illegal. If the FBI tapped my truck during rush hour there would be much more damning talk than this.

We get it, you think Funes and OLOL are involved. Problem is, you haven’t provided any evidence to back up your theory.

Without reading the entire thread, what laws were allegedly broken to bring FBI attention? NCAA recruiting regulations do not have the force of law.

(This has probably been addressed at some point in the thread. I'm just lazy. Which is also not criminal.)


Okay. Found it. Fraud against the university is a pretty big stretch. There have been actual prosecutions brought from that angle?

Misuse of public funds would be different but I'd hope no one is that dumb.

He Gone - LSU will either not accept a tournament bid or fire him and let an assistant take over.

They can't go into the NCAA Tournament with this hanging over their heads

If you want it to look bad, it looks bad. Seems vague as hell to me. I could infer anything about the "offer".


If it were Coach Cal in that recording would you say the same? I don’t think so.
