Good lord, what an idiot. He's got a lot bigger problems on his hands than whether or not he's coaching this team in the tournament this year.

 

[aTotal360]

He's their "martyred" rallying point at the moment. The LSU version of Rebel Rags.

 

[drumrcraig]

Wait, so because he has "reflected" but refuses to talk to his own leadership or to the NCAA he should come back? How does that logic work? Generally not cooperating with the NCAA will get you hammered far worse than the actual crimes ever will. It even says that after the FBI is done, he still isn't going to talk to anyone about it. You are basically asking for a show cause I feel like.

 

[StarkVegas Steve]

He's taking the Bruce Pearl approach to things.

 

[Lettucexxxx]

He needs to fall on the sword or this is going to get shitastic. Just take it like a man. Hell, I bet Liberty needs a basketball coach.

 

[maroonmania]

Will Wade is the new poster child for more programs going rogue in basketball recruiting. Will Wade buys players, LSU wins the SEC. The one catch is just don't get caught on an FBI wiretap. Without that the NCAA wouldn't have looked twice at LSU's recruiting.

As recently as this past weekend, I had my money on this thing quickly blowing over just like it did for Sean Miller. From what I recall, pretty similar set of circumstances, and both Miller and the university dared the NCAA to do anything about it. As luck would have it, they didn't

That said, I think I may have underestimated just how big of an idiot Wade happens to be. No matter what he did do, didn't do, or what the NCAA will do about it, I fail to see how making a public demand of your current employer is going to work out well for you. Especially when much of this is in their hands as to how this plays out for him.

 

[tired]

I don't see Wade as an idiot in this instance. LSU knew what was going on & endorsed it. They are sacrificing Wade, and Wade isn't having it. If you don't take me back, I'll burn it all to the ground. He's just made his move. It's LSU's turn.

The thing is, the LSU administration has bigger fish to fry at the moment. They’ve got a smoldering shitshow of a five alarm fire on their hands with this OLOL stuff.

I don’t think it’s safe to assume that the NCAA is done with Arizona.

 

[patdog]

Yep. And you can bet that if ANY of that money found it's way to the basketball program, it's only because the football and baseball programs had already taken all they could use.

Dude must have never heard of "putting down the shovel"

Looks to be that way. Alot of the folks on tigerdroppings seem to have accepted there fate. You read that?

What is the background on the OLOL stuff? Is the Funes guy a huge LSU booster or something? I’ve heard a few folks allude to potential trouble for LSU football from this, but there is nothing obvious in the media reports about how a hospital foundation embezzling scandal is connected to LSU athletics.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

He’s trying to paint the picture that he’s being terminated without due process. LSU’s response is spot on. He gone in 3... 2.....

 

[The Fatboy]

This Our Lady of the Lake stuff is going to be worse.

People funneling money into a non-profit and then that money being redirected to LSU athletes and possibly the governor. FBI and IRS gonna take a look deep up their rectum.

That and LSU knew what was going on and supported himwhen they were winning basketball games, but not so much now. I agree he's gone and should be. You think LSU should have invited the NCAA to the meeting with Wade? I don't. LSU should have told them they will handle it internally unless there is a formal investigation, at which time they will cooperate fully with the NCAA. Wade is dirty, but so is LSU athletics.

 

[missouridawg]

I’ve read the TD thread on the OLOL stuff.... is there any news outlets covering the OLOL stuff? I’m not sure how much stock I put into TD posters reporting what they’ve heard on this.

Abandonment

He’s trying to paint the picture that he’s being terminated without due process. LSU’s response is spot on. He gone in 3... 2.....

We can all be assured, his agent and counsel have advised and constructed his way to late response, by throwing shade at the university in hopes of having the slimmest chances of saving the remainder of his contract. There is no doubt the administration is culpable for not severing this relationship sooner. They are in survival mode to say the least.

Not sure why you think Miller is clear.

Who said that LSU invited them to the meeting? It probably wasn’t even their meeting to invite anyone to. You don’t think that an investigator from Indianapolis either had boots on the ground in BR, or a mandatory video conference with Alleva / Alexander within 24 hours of the wiretap stuff breaking in the media? When scandals like this are out there, the university ain’t running anything. NCAA can and will show up whenever they want, regardless of whether they have formally opened an investigation.

 

[rebsgoingdown]

The main problem is that everyone is trying to appear like the victim. Gone are the days when anyone admits they were wrong and publicly asks for forgiveness.

True. And that starts at the top.

Nope, TOTAL idiot. Only stuff Wade told LSU is revealed by FBI to be a blatant LIE and now REFUSES to even talk to AD. Wade is a dead man walking .. ala Andy C.

Don't matter 'what' NCAA does. He lied to AD and is toast.

 

[KingBarkus]

They are in a sh*tstorm without an umbrella. Wade is done and the university has decided to fire him with cause, imo. It will save the college millions. Lsu knew about the wiretaps in October and failed to act. Now, with Louisiana politics involved (James Williams - BOS president, trial attorney) you have a storm. There are rumors of even more damaging wiretaps from the FBI that will be revealed in April. No way Wade survives this. I think his youth and brash, brazen language ON THE PHONE separates him from the Selfs, Coach K's , and Williams' corruption. The conversation to the slimy middle man was simply Wade venting. He had no player the middleman (FBI target) was helping Wade acquire. Dumb.

 

[Seinfeld]

Yeah, after he resumed coaching duties following a 1-game hiatus from a full year ago, I had assumed it was a cold case. However, I did see yesterday that there actually are still some things under review by the ncaa

I guess time will tell, but it just seems lately that the norm is for very little to happen unless there is domestic abuse or sexual misconduct involved
