LSU isn’t implicated in anything. This wasn’t accepted as evidence and was simply read aloud, so as Wetzel says, it lacks context.

I bet there are tons of people that know about it. It’s only when it gets out to the media that the ncaa has an issue with it.

Why? I think agents and shoe companies/endorsements is eventually how players will get paid

bruh when i was in LSU undergrad my schedule was sync'd up to Brandon Bass's schedule MWF and I'd pass him 3x/week pulling up to the PMac in a brand new Mercedes SUV. it wasn't hidden. it was wide out in the open. secrets aren't totally necessary

“[Wade] is communicating to Christian Dawkins that he can get him what he needs – meaning money – if a player in Florida, Balsa Koprivica, agrees to play for LSU,” said Casey Donnelly, one of Gatto’s attorneys. Donnelly then read a portion of the transcript of the call.

He there’s no chance anything comes of Wade saying “we’ll get you what you need”

Maybe the NCAA digs further and is able to nail LSU, but that ain’t gonna do it

Nah. I hear a coach somewhere bought his players some food off the McDonald's Dollar Menu. That is a way more serious violation that the NCAA will need to spend time investigating and punishing.

It can't be a shock that Will Wade is cheating. No way that autistic weirdo is recruiting well without it.

Everyone cheats. I’m not putting much stock into a phone call not entered into evidence and completely lacking context though.

Yeah every school is cheating for sure. I could partially believe people who say they would be legit surprised if Beilein, Jay Wright, and Tony Bennett are dirty, but I bet they have dirty assistants.

I'm about to throw my hat in the college coaching ring. I only played HS ball and don't know the first thing about coaching, but I figure as long as I don't pay anyone, I'll probably come out towards the top.

Are you still mad about your coach getting pantsed in the NIT game in front of the whole country?

Yes I'm sure the tens of people who watch the NIT are still talking about that first round game.

LSU paying players these last couple years is literally the least shocking news of the century
