I hope LSU fans aren't saying the same thing about Will Wade in 15 years. Chances Will Wade has a redemption and parallels Kelvin Sampson's career are pretty high. He's going to have a great career somewhere. Hopefully LSU is able to figure things out.

Every coach was a violation machine. Some were just untouchable. College basketball is dirtier than college football. Especially with AAU and whatnot.

I have a feeling we will end up in a similar boat.

Best hope is we end up like UT scorn and upset but then finally end up being able to get over it when the team is good again.

Wasn't Wade on an FBI wiretap admitting to paying players? LSU really didn't have a choice.

No he wasn’t. In the taped conversation with Dawkins they were talking about Randolph Morris who was in college when Wade was still in college and Jared Blossomgame who was in the NBA before Wade ever came to LSU.

That’s media spin, the offer was about an assistant coach Smart wanted to bring with him

I'm not even trying to single out Wade, I'd almost bet my life that plenty of UF players got paid during the Billy Donovan years. But c'mon.

It’s literally a media article that contradicts the IARP findings. Wade was hit with “failure to report a potential violation” and “failure to present an attitude of compliance”. The situation with the VCU ex girlfriend is pending but there’s no violation for paying players.
