I heard James Williams took illegal bribes. At least that’s the story I’m telling people.


Why is this story breaking now? Did BOS or the administration leak it to get some heat off them for the Wade debacle?

Maybe Funes needed the money to pay someone off so his kid could get into LSU.

Moore resigned because McBride was fired and he didn’t agree with the firing.

McBride was fired because he wanted to fire Scott Wester and the board said no.

McBride wanted Wester fired because Funes reported directly to Wester and while Wester didn’t know anything, he argued Wester should have known.

McBride is an “outsider”. Wester is a local guy.

Moore did the right thing.

Only $800k?

Yawn.

All of this Funes speculation I was expecting 10s of millions at least.

Prolly a dumb question but who is James Williams? Are you talking about the President of the LSU board? Is this really a suspicion?

Huge thread on the Rant about this also. And some entertaininv conspiracy theory threads also.

1. Will Wade is an FBI informant
2. F King’s secret mission to remove sports from LSU
3. Alleva’s romantic involvement with James Williams

Coachgeaux done told us LSU was involved. He was roundly chastised for doing so. Lots of people got some crow to eat.


Thanks for being straight up.

No. You implied that the entirety of the fraud was to benefit LSU athletics with impermissible payments to student-athletes. Which wasn’t the case here.

I don't think Will Wade is the FBI informant but I do think it's possible that Christian Dawkins could be one.
